The arbitrator issued what he titled an Interim Award which seemed to resolve all of plaintiff’s claims against her.  However, the award stated that it would become final unless a party filed a motion within 20 days pointing to an issue that the Interim Award did not resolve.  Plaintiff filed such a motion within 20 days, pointing out that the Interim Award did not award damages on one claim that it found plaintiff had proven.  The arbitrator granted the motion and issued a Final Award awarding plaintiff  $100,000 plus attorney fees on that one claim.  The Court of Appeal reverses a trial court judgment which had vacated the Final Award and confirmed the Interim Award.  An award is not final unless it resolves all issues tendered to the arbitrator for decision.  It is the arbitrator not the court who decides which issues have been submitted for decision.  Here, the Interim Award was not final because it left for later decision whether that award had missed a submitted issue.  The trial court has no jurisdiction to confirm an interim, non-final award, and it should have deferred to the arbitrator’s assessment of whether the Interim Award was not final.
