r gferred to arbitration^ as provided for in the sixteenth article,
^.nd the Shaikh stipulates that the force majeure delaying operation
me ans that which occurs in connection v/ith the Company's operations
in Qatr and that nothing else must be taken into consideration and
must not be used by the Company as an argument in this respect. And
the Company shall proceed to effect repairs at the time when any
damage, of any nature, takes place; and the period of the said delay,
together with any period reasonably necessary for repairing the
damage will be added to the period fixed in accordance v/ith this
Agreement.
Article Sixteenth. Should any dispute occur between the Shaikh and
the Company in regard to the interpretation of this Agreement or of
any matter arising therefrom or in regard to the engagements
obligatory on either of the parties in accordance therewith, such
dispute shall be referred to two arbitrators if no Agreement can be
arrived at for settling it by any other method, and the Shaikh will
appoint one of them and the other will be appointed by the Company.
Each of the two parties shall appoint his arbitrator within thirty
days after receiving the demand therefor from the other party. The
two arbitrators shall thereupon appoint a third arbitrator; but if
the two arbitrators or any two arbitrators appointed instead of them
are unable to agree upon the third arbitrator within sixty days from
the demand for arbitration, the two parties agree that, in that case,
the third arbitrator should be appointed by the Political Resident;
and the Shaikh makes it a condition that he should agree to the
third arbitrator. ^
The award of arbitration shall be consistent with the legal
principles familiar to civilized nations.
The decision of the majority of arbitrators shall be final;
and the place of arbitration shall be Qatr.
On giving any award, the arbitrators shall fix a sufficient
time within which the party against whom the award is given, should
carry out the said award. And that party shall be considered at
fault only when he fails to comply with the award before the expiry
