Description
The issues in this appeal center on the judicial confirmation of an arbitration award, and conversely, the grounds for vacating or modifying such an award. Appellant Crossmark, Inc. ("Crossmark") appeals the trial court's final judgment, based in part on a prior interlocutory summary judgment, that confirms an arbitration award in favor of appellees John and Jim Hazar (the "Hazars"). In six issues, Crossmark asserts the trial court: (1) erred by confirming a piecemeal arbitration award; (2) erred by refusing to join an indispensable party; (3) erred by confirming an arbitration award that violated public policy; *fn2 (4) erred by refusing to modify the arbitration award based on an "evident miscalculation of numbers;" and (5) erred by increasing the arbitration award to include additional attorneys' fees for enforcing and appealing the confirmation of an arbitration award. For reasons stated below, we modify the judgment to delete the award of attorneys' fees for confirming the award, for appealing to this Court, and for potentially appealing to the supreme court. As modified, we affirm the trial court's judgment.
