California Court of Appeal

TRABUCO HIGHLANDS CMTY. ASSOC. v. HEAD, G027697

Although the trial court might properly have found that arbitration was binding, it reached its result by an impermissible means, by relying on a letter by the arbitrator that said the arbitration was binding, thus the case was reversed and remanded to properly determine whether defendants agreed to binding arbitration.
