Sharifpour v. Le
An arbitration award against the sellers of residential real property was confirmed to judgment. The sellers, Tam and Kim Le, contend the court erred in confirming to judgment the awards of attorney fees and punitive damages, inasmuch as the arbitrator exceeded his powers in making those awards in the first place. We disagree. The terms of the purchase agreement between the Les and the buyers of their property, Sina and Shekoufeh Sharifpour, did not bar an award of attorney fees under the facts of this case. Moreover, contrary to the Les’ assertion, they had an opportunity to rebut the evidence of their financial condition as presented by the Sharifpours, and indeed did rebut that evidence, so they were not deprived of fundamentally fair procedures. We affirm.
