Musighi v. Mossighi CA2/2
Brothers Isaac Musighi (Isaac) and Parviz “Daniel” Mossighi (Daniel) arbitrated the dissolution of their wholesale diamond business, and the trial court confirmed that arbitration award in a $9 million judgment for Daniel. The brothers thereafter reached a settlement resolving disputes related to Isaac’s refusal to comply with the judgment. Still unhappy with the results of the arbitration, Isaac petitioned the trial court to compel 50 assorted claims to a new arbitration on the basis that the settlement agreement included an arbitration clause. The trial court denied the petition. Because the claims Isaac has identified on appeal are barred by res judicata, not encompassed within the scope of the arbitration clause, or cannot be arbitrated because the preselected arbitrator has a conflict of interest, the trial court was correct in denying the petition.
