California Court of Appeal

In an appeal of an arbitration award involving an auto loan, the trial court refused to order a new arbitration and confirmation of the existing award is reversed where: 1) the arbitral forum did not refuse to conduct a second arbitration because of the lack of 'appellate' rules; 2) it declined to conduct a de novo arbitration solely because plaintiff objected; and 3) defendants specifically told the trial court they would be 'perfectly happy' to return to that arbitral forum.
