California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Santa Clara County Corr. Peace Officers' v. County Of Santa Clara, H035021, No. CV105001 (Cal. App. 2011):
Appellants further contend that the arbitrator acted in excess of his power by upholding the void action. (See, e.g., DPA v. CCPOA, supra, 152 Cal.App.4th at p. 1200 [arbitrators exceed their powers when the award "violates a party's statutory rights or otherwise violates a well-defined public policy"].)
