Santa Fe Pacific Pipelines v. Union Pacific Railroad
After a lengthy trial, the victorious party sought prejudgment interest under Civil Code section 3287.[1] Its opponent argued the interest issue must be arbitrated rather than decided by the temporary judge who presided over the trial. We find no arbitration provision in the agreement, which was the subject of the trial before the temporary judge and the basis of the temporary judge’s jurisdiction. We therefore affirm the denial of appellants’ petition to compel arbitration.
