Subject to subsection (4), an arbitrator may be challenged only if —
circumstances exist that give rise to justifiable doubts as to his impartiality or independence; or
he does not possess the qualifications agreed to by the parties.
A party who has appointed or participated in the appointment of an arbitrator may challenge such arbitrator only if he becomes aware of any of the grounds of challenge set out in subsection (3) as may be applicable to the arbitrator after the arbitrator has been appointed.
