LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 365, Wiener.
Civil procedure: arbitration.
Existing law authorizes a party to appeal, among other things, an order dismissing or denying a petition to compel arbitration. Existing law generally stays proceedings in the trial court on the judgment or order appealed from when the appeal is perfected, subject to specified exceptions.
This bill would provide that, notwithstanding the general rule described above, trial court proceedings would not be automatically stayed during the pendency of an appeal of an order dismissing or denying a petition to compel arbitration.
