RS 9:4252 Grounds for challenge - Louisiana Statutes

§4252.  Grounds for challenge

A.  When a person is approached in connection with his possible appointment as an arbitrator, he shall disclose any circumstances likely to give rise to justifiable doubts as to his impartiality or independence.  An arbitrator, from the time of his appointment and throughout the arbitral proceedings, shall without delay disclose any circumstances to the parties unless they have already been informed of them by him.

B.  An arbitrator may be challenged only if circumstances exist that give rise to justifiable doubts as to his impartiality or independence or if he does not possess qualifications agreed to by the parties.  A party may challenge an arbitrator appointed by him, or in whose appointment he has participated, only for reasons of which he becomes aware after the appointment has been made.
