The following excerpt is from State of California v. Superior Court, 159 Cal.Rptr. 650, 98 Cal.App.3d 643 (Cal. App. 1979):
"The critical point presented in the instant case which precludes a dismissal under Code of Civil Procedure section 583 to prevent an injustice is the fact that the arbitration administrator, over whom the plaintiff had no control, took an extraordinary amount of time to provide a list of prospective arbitrators. This extraordinary circumstance made it impossible for the parties to proceed with arbitration and impossible to conduct a trial within the time reasonably contemplated." (Brown v. Engstrom, supra, 89 Cal.App.3d 513, 523-524, 152 Cal.Rptr. 628, 634-635.)
