art 8 Third party rights
(1) Where a transfer by virtue of this Order of any property, rights or liabilities operates so as to affect adversely the rights of any third party, the following provisions of this article shall apply. (2) The fact that any property, right or liability has been transferred by virtue of this Order is not of itself sufficient to establish that the rights of a third party have been adversely affected. (3) Any dispute between a third party and a health service authority, shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Arbitration Act 1996 by a sole arbitrator appointed by agreement between the third party and the health service authority, or in default of such agreement, under paragraph (4). (4) If the third party and the health service authority fail to agree on the appointment of an arbitrator under paragraph (3), either of them may apply to the President for the time being of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators to appoint an arbitrator to resolve the dispute between them in accordance with the Arbitration Act 1996.
