Choe v. Pressed Down CA2/8
The arbitration spanned 10 days and involved hundreds of exhibits, most of which are absent from the appellate record. Following our Supreme Court’s lead, we draw from the arbitrator’s final award in outlining the parties’ dispute, and we take the arbitrator’s findings as correct. (See Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. v. Intel Corp. (1994) 9 Cal.4th 362, 367, fn. 1 (Advanced).) Because this appeal mainly attacks one paragraph of the 45-page final award, we focus on facts relating to the disputed paragraph.
Choe ran a family-owned minerals processing business called Protech Minerals, Inc. We refer to this entity and Choe together as Seller.
In 2016, Choe embarked on selling the business to Michael Mattox and Mattox’s new company, Protech Minerals, LLC. We refer to the buying parties as Buyer.
There were multiple related contracts between the parties, including separate agreements concerning business operations and the sale of real property.
