Is an arbitrator bound to vacate an award of $1.5m awarded to a plaintiff in a motor vehicle accident case?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from 310 Gramercy, LLC v. Park, B286853 (Cal. App. 2019):
Appellant contends the arbitrator exceeded her powers in awarding damages, which respondent's complaint did not seek, and thus the trial court erred in failing to vacate the award. "In determining whether an arbitrator exceeded his [or her] powers, we review the trial court's decision de novo . . . ." (Jordan v. Department of Motor Vehicles (2002) 100 Cal.App.4th 431, 443.)
