Subject to article 37 (saving provisions for Trinity House), any difference under any provision of this Order, unless otherwise provided for, is to be referred to and settled in arbitration in accordance with the rules at Schedule 13 (arbitration rules) of this Order, by a single arbitrator to be agreed upon by the parties, within 14 days of receipt of the notice of arbitration, or if the parties fail to agree within the time period stipulated, to be appointed on application of either party (after giving written notice to the other) by the Secretary of State.

For the avoidance of doubt, any matter for which the consent or approval of the Secretary of State or NRW is required under any provision of this Order is not subject to arbitration.
