CABLE CONNECTION, INC. v. DIRECTV, INC. Part I
Provision in arbitration agreement purporting to provide for judicial review of errors of law was void and unenforceable but was severable from the remainder of the agreement. Where agreement neither expressly allowed nor expressly prohibited classwide arbitration, arbitrators' ruling allowing arbitration to proceed on a classwide basis was entitled to judicial deference. Arbitrators' ruling that it was unnecessary for certain declarants to testify in person because the issues addressed in the declarations were matters of law rather than fact did not constitute a refusal to hear the declarants' testimony, and trial court erred in vacating award on that ground.
