Court:

Supreme Court of the State of Washington

Amicus Issue:
Whether a court may vacate an arbitration award under Washington law for “error of law” or whether the court is limited to the narrower statutory grounds, and whether arbitrators are precluded under Washington law from applying the state statute of limitations to state law claims brought in arbitration, such that dismissal of an arbitration claim on this ground constitutes an error of law.
