Hassanein v. Warner Bros. Entertainment
Salah Hassanein sued his former employer, Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc., and Time Warner, Inc. (collectively Warner), seeking to collect unpaid bonuses for his work as president of Warners international theater operations. The parties reached a settlement on some claims, and agreed to arbitrate others, including their dispute over whether Hassanein was entitled to an additional bonus for his work in Japan. An arbitrator then found in favor of Warner, and awarded attorney fees. Over Hassaneins objections, the arbitration award was confirmed by the trial court. On appeal, Hassanein argues: (1) the arbitrator exceeded his jurisdiction by awarding attorney fees; (2) the trial court should not have confirmed the arbitration attorney fees award; and (3) the trial court erred in granting additional attorney fees to Warner. Court find these contentions lack merit and affirm the judgment.
