Bergelectric Corp. v. MCB Joint Ventures
MCB Joint Ventures, LLC (MCB) agreed to subcontract certain electrical work to Bergelectric Corp. (Berg) in connection with a naval hospital construction project. After Berg completed its work, the parties disputed the amount of Berg's final payment under their contract. They submitted the dispute to binding arbitration, and the arbitrator rendered an award in Berg's favor, which the trial court confirmed.
On appeal, MCB asserts that the parties' contract was illegal and/or violated public policy, that Berg waived its right to arbitrate a portion of their payment dispute, and that the arbitrator exceeded his powers by awarding attorney fees to Berg. For reasons we explain, the trial court did not err in confirming the arbitration award. Accordingly, we affirm the order.
