Managing Partner Brian Plante completed a binding arbitration involving 15 luxury homes in the East Bay. The arbitrator issued a defense award which was a fraction of the statutory offers to compromise issued by the homebuilder. The arbitrator ruled that the homebuilder is therefore the prevailing party and issued a final award ordering the claimants to pay for the homebuilder’s statutory costs, arbitration fees, and expert fees totaling in excess of $100,000.
