Court’s Ruling Re Motion to Vacate Or Confirm Arbitration Award

Lisa C. Schall, Judge of the Superior Court.

The Court has re-examined all of the pleadings filed by the parties, lodgments, case authority, exhibits, and issues raised in their arguments: The Court notes that the FINRA Rule 13408 controls (emphasis added)here: (a) Before appointing arbitrators to a panel, the Director will notify the arbitrators of the nature of the dispute and the identity of the parties. Each potential arbitrator must make a reasonable effort to learn of, and must disclose to the Director, any circumstances which might preclude the arbitrator from rendering an objective and impartial determination in the proceeding, including: (1) Any direct or indirect financial or personal interest in the outcome of the arbitration; (2) Any existing or past financial, business, professional, family, social, or other relationships or circumstances with any party, any party’s representative, or anyone who the arbitrator is told may be a witness in the proceeding, that are likely to affect impartiality or might reasonably create an appearance of partiality or bias; (3) Any such relationship or circumstances involving members of the arbitrator’s family or the arbitrator’s current employers, partners, or business associates; and (4) Any existing or past service as a mediator for any of the parties in the case for which the arbitrator has been selected. (b) The obligation to disclose interests, relationships, or circumstances that might preclude an arbitrator from rendering an objective and impartial determination described in paragraph (a) is a continuing duty that requires an arbitrator who accepts appointment to an arbitration proceeding to disclose, at any stage of the proceeding, any such interests, relationships, or circumstances that arise, or are recalled or discovered. (c) The Director will inform the parties to the arbitration of any information disclosed to the Director under this rule unless the arbitrator who disclosed the information declines appointment or voluntarily withdraws from the panel as soon as the arbitrator learns of any interest, relationship or circumstance that might preclude the arbitrator from rendering an objective and impartial determination in the proceeding, or the Director removes the arbitrator.

According to FINRA’S “Arbitrator’s Guide,” which is attached to the Folan Declaration as Exhibit D (moving papers), “[d]isclosure is the cornerstone of FINRA arbitration [and its guidelines specifically direct its arbitrators] to consider all aspects of their professional and personal lives and disclose all ties between the arbitrator, the parties and the matter in dispute, no matter how remote they may seem.” (Ex. D to Decl. of Folan, page 16) FINRA further admonishes that if there is even a need to “think about whether a disclosure is appropriate, then it is: make the disclosure.” (Id.) Based on the evidence submitted by Morgan Stanley, it is fairly clear that Mr. Kersh was not forthcoming in his disclosures generally or in his responses to the “Arbitrator Disclosure Report,” attached to Folan’s Declaration as Exhibit F. At the very minimum, when responding to Questions 8 and 17, Mr. Kersh failed to comply with Rule 13408: Question 8 - Have you, your spouse, or any member of your immediate family maintained an account individually, jointly or beneficially with a brokerage firm named in this proceeding? Question 17 - Has any member of your immediate family or household been employed by a brokerage firm? His daughter worked for a brokerage firm and maintains an account with Morgan Stanley. Mr. Vitale argues that Mr. Kersh has no obligation to inquire into in-laws’ circumstances. Even if that were true, his daughter is his immediate family. The mere failure to disclose reasonably creates the impression of partiality. (Schmitz v. Zilveti (9th Cir. 1994) 20 F.3d 1043, 1047-1048.) Interestingly, Mr. Vitale does not dispute that Mr. Kersh failed to disclose any of the above information, or argue that Mr. Kersh’s disclosures were complete or accurate, but instead argues Morgan Stanley was aware of it and/or Mr. Kersh was not required to disclose it. Under FINRA rules, the duty lies with the arbitrator to disclose - there is no duty on the part of the participants to Google matters or otherwise. Finally, Mr. Vitale’s efforts to impute knowledge of Mr. Kersh’s relationships to Morgan Stanley are unpersuasive and speculative. The only declarations filed in support of Mr. Vitale’s theory that Morgan Stanley could locate the relevant relationship information are those of former Morgan Stanley employees, whose testimony is questionable in terms of bias as former employees with a potential axe to grind against Morgan Stanley. While the arbitration was governed by FINRA rules, the decision to confirm or vacate the award is governed by CCP § 1286.2, the relevant portion of which provides that: ...the court shall vacate the award if the court determines any of the following: (6) An arbitrator making the award either: (A) failed to disclose within the time required for disclosure a ground for disqualification of which the arbitrator was then aware; or (B) was subject to disqualification upon grounds specified in Section 1281.91 but failed upon receipt of timely demand to disqualify himself or herself as required by that provision. However, this subdivision does not apply to arbitration proceedings conducted under a collective bargaining agreement between employers and employees or between their respective representatives. (Code Civ. Proc., § 1286.2(a)(6).) For the foregoing reasons, the Court hereby Grants Morgan Stanley’s motion to vacate the award based on Mr. Kersh’s violation of FINRA rules. Furthermore, based on the objections and the parties’ responses thereto, the Court overrules all objections.

□ PREVAILING PARTY TO PREPARE AND FILE FORMAL ORDER PURSUANT TO CRC 391. □ OTHER Defendant W.E. Bedding Corp., aka Ortho Mattresses evidentiary objections to the Declaration of Angelo Pellerito on the grounds the declarant lacks personal knowledge of the facts stated therein and in violation of Evidence Code Section 702, are sustained. The Court notes that the Declaration of Angelo Pellerito is not signed “under penalty of Perjury,” as required by CCP Section 2015.5 Defendant W.E. Bedding Corp, aka Ortho Mattresses evidentiary objections to Plaintiffs Additional Disputed/Undisputed Facts Numbers 1 through 46 inclusively and individually, are overruled in their entirety. Defendant has failed to substantiate it’s evidentiary objections by specific cites to the evidence objected to. Plaintiff supports her Additional Disputed/Undisputed Facts by specific cites to her deposition testimony, which has been lodged with the Court by Plaintiff. Defendant W.E. Bedding Corp., aka Ortho Mattresses Motion for Summary Judgment and Alternative Motion for Summary Adjudication of Issues is ruled on as follows: Defendant’s Motion for Summary Judgment on the grounds that: (1) Plaintiffs eight causes of action fail to state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action against this defendant; (2) there are no triable issues of material fact as the Plaintiff is not the real party in interest t for pursuing the claims alleged in the First Amended Complaint, and (3) that each of the causes of action is barred by the applicable statute of limitations, is denied in its entirety. Defendant has failed to meet his burden on this Motion for Summary Judgment of showing that that Plaintiffs eight causes of action have no merit because one or more elements of the causes of action, even if not separately pleaded, cannot be established, or that there is a complete defense to Plaintiff’s eight causes of action. The evidence provided demonstrates that triable issues of material fact exist as to whether there was a customer sharing agreement between Simmons Mattress Gallery and Ortho and whether Defendants engaged in unfair competition by resorting to age and gender harassment and intimidation to deny Plaintiff equal access to potential customers in order to further their own financial interests and whether Defendants conduct defamed Plaintiff causing her emotional distress. [Deposition of Shirley Preskitt at pages 188, 192-193, 197 through 203; pages 230, 232, 236-236, 248, 252, 308-328, 341, 342, 346, 349, 369, 375-376, 385-386, 394, 401-402, 416-417, 440-446, 452-455; Plaintiffs Lodged Exhibits 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6.] Defendant Ortho Mattresses Alternative Motion for Summary Adjudication is ordered off calendar for failure to comply with California Rules of Court, Rule 342, Subdivisions (b) and (d).
