any mistake of law, fact or procedure made by him in the course of arbitration proceedings or in the making of an arbitral award.
An appointing authority which is requested by the parties to appoint an arbitrator, is not liable —
for anything done or omitted in the performance, or purported performance of that function; or
for the acts or omissions of —
any arbitrator whom it appoints;
the arbitral tribunal of which such an arbitrator forms part; or

A person who participates in an arbitration as an expert, witness or legal representative has the same immunity in respect of acts or omissions as the person would have if the arbitration were civil proceedings.
Notwithstanding subsections (1), (2) and (3), an arbitrator, appointing authority or any other person involved in the arbitral proceedings is liable for any act or omission done where such an act or omission is shown to be done in bad faith.
