California Court of Appeal

In a case in which a party was successful in getting a court to enter an order denying a petition to compel arbitration of a dispute involving nonconforming condominium improvements, and then sought attorney's fees and costs but was denied because her motion was untimely, her appeal of the trial court's denial of a motion for reconsideration and CCP section 473(b) relief is dismissed, where the order denying her motions was not an order after final judgment under the California Arbitration Act, since the order denying the first petition to compel arbitration did not put an end to the proceeding, and therefore could not be considered the equivalent of a final judgment.
