Nolder v. The Permanente Medical Group
Alexa Nolder, the successor-in-interest to deceased plaintiff Leisa Lewis, challenges the superior courts denial of Lewiss petition to vacate an arbitration award in favor of defendants. Lewis claims that the arbitration award should have been vacated because the neutral arbitrator submitted an inaccurate disclosure and failed to disclose that his son had previously been employed as an attorney at the law firm that was representing defendants in the arbitration. court conclude that the neutral arbitrator was not required to disclose this information and that this information and the neutral arbitrators inaccurate disclosure (that no member of his family had ever been associated with an attorney for a party) did not create a basis for vacating the arbitration award. Hence, Court affirm the superior courts judgment confirming the arbitration award.
