Description
Two automobile-accident victims, Flora and Ruby Fernandez ("the Fernandezes"), arbitrated with their insurance company, Farmers Insurance Company of Arizona ("Farmers"), over their claims under various underinsured motorist policies. The arbitration panel entered an award that, according to the Fernandezes, misapplied the law. The Fernandezes petitioned the trial court to modify or correct the award; Farmers, the successful party in the arbitration, counterpetitioned for confirmation of the award. The trial court agreed with the Fernandezes and remanded the proceeding to the arbitrators to apply what the court held was the proper application of the law. Farmers brought this interlocutory appeal to us, contending that the court lacked the authority to review the arbitration award for errors of law. We agree with this contention, reverse the court's decision, and remand with instructions to enter judgment confirming the award.
