California Court of Appeal

In an appeal from a judgment confirming an insurance appraisal award, the trial court's judgment is reversed where: 1) the award issued in this case pursuant to the trial court's directive neither complies with the terms of the governing statute nor accomplishes the objectives of an appraisal; and 2) it was error to compel the appraisal panel to assign loss values to items simply because they were listed in the insured's scope of loss and regardless of whether inspection revealed they were undamaged or never existed.
