This suit involves a commission dispute between two members of the Northern Virginia Association of Realtors (“NVAR”). Plaintiff Frank X. Lackman seeks to vacate an arbitration award of an NVAR arbitration panel in favor of Long & Foster Real Estate, Inc. (“L&F”) and Reggie Copeland. This motion for vacation of the panel’s award, brought pursuant to Virginia Code § 8.01-581.010, came before me on March 20,2002. At the conclusion of the evidence, I took the matter under advisement. I am now prepared to furnish my decision to the parties.
