Miller v. Nationwide Insurance Company, No. Cv99-0431545s (Jun. 29, 2000)

[EDITOR'S NOTE: This case is unpublished as indicated by the issuing court.]

MEMORANDUM OF DECISION

The question presented to the court by the parties on this Application to Vacate Arbitration Award is whether the arbitrators correctly applied the law in determining that Christopher Ferro was not an individual covered by an insurance policy issued by the defendant Nationwide Insurance Company. The more difficult issue for the court, however, is applying the proper standard of review — deferential or de novo — to such an arbitration to comply with the statutes and policies governing arbitrations.
