10240.12
. A party may, within the applicable time periods and upon
the grounds specified in this section and in Article 1 (commencing
with Section 1285) of Chapter 4 of Title 9 of Part 3 of the Code of
Civil Procedure, petition the court to confirm, correct, or vacate
the award rendered by the arbitrator. However, no department may
petition to vacate an award without the prior written authorization
of its agency secretary. Except where the parties agree not to have
the arbitration decision rendered in accordance with the provisions
of Section 10240.8, a court shall vacate the award, or part thereof,
if it determines either that the award, or part thereof, is not
supported by substantial evidence or that it is not decided under or
in accordance with the laws of this state. If the award, or part
thereof, is vacated on the grounds set forth in the preceding
sentence or in subdivision (d) or (e) of Section 1286.2 of the Code
of Civil Procedure or if the court determines that the award does not
include a determination of all submitted questions necessary to
determine the controversy, the court may order a rehearing before the
original arbitrator or remand to the original arbitrator that
portion of the dispute which the court concludes the arbitrator
failed to determine.
