Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

Re: real estate agent arbitration

You need to look at the agreement for arbitration to see what rules you agreed to. A decision can always be appealed for lack of due process; if they did not make a written report it probably is too late to request one but you lose nothing by trying.

Re: real estate agent arbitration

To whom was the appeal addressed? A court or the agency running the arbitration program? Most arbitration awards are final and unappealable to anyone (or, perhaps more accurately, there are very few grounds for a successful appeal).

Assuming the appeal has been made and was successful, where were you during the appeal process? Were you notified? Did you participate?

Also, in giving you a useful answer, it would be helpful to know in what respect the arbitration was alleged to have violated due process to the extent that it was invalid.

Re: real estate agent arbitration

Due process means and opportunity to fairly be heard. A party to arbitration can ask for whatever clarification it wants. That doesn't mean that they will get it. Arbitration is usually binding and without a right to appeal.
