Description
This appeal concerns the proper standard of judicial review of an arbitration award. The Department of Public Safety appeals from a trial court order which vacated parts of a labor arbitration award. The trial court found (1) that the arbitrators interim remedy of suspension without pay constituted "gross error"; (2) that the arbitrator exceeded the scope of his authority by retaining jurisdiction over the matter until the criminal charges had been resolved; and (3) that the plaintiffs were public interest litigants and therefore entitled to full attorney fees as prevailing parties. We hold that the trial court erred on each of these issues.
