ALLSTATE INSURANCE COMPANY v. SUPERIOR COURT
Trial court erred in granting party's petition for reconsideration of arbitrator's award where arbitrator stated that award was final. Parties in arbitration agreement explicitly waived any right to appeal or challenge final arbitration award except where it was result of arbitrator's corruption, misconduct, or conflict, which did not occur. Arbitrator's error in stating reasons for his decision, contrary to arbitration agreement, could easily be corrected by deleting surplusage from award so as to limit it to amount due to party.
