What are the grounds upon which a court may review an arbitration award?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from J. Alexander Securities, Inc. v. Mendez, 17 Cal.App.4th 1083, 21 Cal.Rptr.2d 826 (Cal. App. 1993):

These statutes provide the exclusive grounds upon which a court may review private arbitration awards. (Moncharsh v. Heily & Blase (1992) 3 Cal.4th 1, 26-28, 10 Cal.Rptr.2d 183, 832 P.2d 899.) Judicial review of arbitration awards is limited to these specific and narrow statutory grounds, since "by voluntarily submitting to arbitration, the parties have agreed to bear [the risk of an erroneous decision by the arbitrator] in return for a quick, inexpensive, and conclusive resolution to their dispute." (Id. at pp. 11-12, 10 Cal.Rptr.2d 183, 832 P.2d 899.)
