N.D. Cent. Code § 24-02-29: Arbitration may proceed although one party fails to agree

If either party refuses to submit to arbitration as provided in this chapter, that party must be deemed to have waived all claims and demands, and the arbitrators shall proceed to determine the controversies set forth by the moving party according to the justice of the case. Judgment must be entered upon the award of such arbitrators in all things the same as though the submission to arbitration has been signed by both parties.
