Fernow v. Gould

OPINION

PETERSON, Judge.

In a personal-injury action arising out of a collision between a city snowplow and respondent-plaintiffs vehicle, respondent insurer intervened and also submitted to inter-company arbitration its claim for indemnification for basic economic loss benefits that it paid to respondent-plaintiff. An arbitrator ruled that governmental statutory immunity did not apply and that respondent insurer should be indemnified. Appellants moved to vacate the award. The district court denied the motion to vacate and confirmed the arbitrator’s award. We reverse and remand.
