Description
This multiparty dispute arising out of a real estate purchase was submitted, on stipulation of all parties, to binding arbitration. The arbitrator found for defendants, the sellers. Although the real estate purchase agreement contained a clause providing for reasonable attorney fees to the prevailing party in an "arbitration or suit . . . brought to enforce the terms of this contract or any obligation herein," and although the arbitrator found defendants were the prevailing parties on the complaint and on a cross-complaint, the arbitrator refused to award defendants any fees, reasoning that the contractual attorney fees clause was not broad enough to encompass the claims against defendants, claims the arbitrator found were non-contractual in nature.
