§ 87682 Arbitration Decision Court Review

Key Takeaways

  • •If you or your boss don't like the decision made by an arbitrator or judge in a work dispute, you can ask a court to look at it again.
  • •The court will make its own decision based on the facts, not just what the arbitrator or judge said.
  • •The court will try to hear your case as soon as possible, but some other cases might go first.

Example

You got fired from your job and you think it's unfair. You and your boss go to an arbitrator, but the arbitrator says your boss was right to fire you. You don't agree with this decision.

You can ask a court to look at your case again. The court will listen to both sides and make its own decision. They won't just agree with the arbitrator. The court will try to hear your case quickly, but if there are other similar cases that came in before yours, those might be heard first.

§ 87682 Arbitration Decision Court Review

The decision of the arbitrator or administrative law judge, as the case may be, may, on petition of either the governing board or the employee, be reviewed by a court of competent jurisdiction in the same manner as a decision made by an administrative law judge under Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 11500) of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code. The court, on review, shall exercise its independent judgment on the evidence. The proceeding shall be set for hearing at the earliest possible date and shall take precedence over all other cases, except older matters of the same character and matters to which special precedence is given by law. (Amended by Stats. 1985, Ch. 324, Sec. 11.)
