STATE COURT CASES
ARBITRATION AND MEDIATION — INSURANCE

03-2-8089 Liberty Mutual Ins. Co. v. Associated Surgeons of Northern New Jersey, P.A., App. Div. (per curiam) (5 pp.) Plaintiff filed this action to challenge arbitration awards already rendered and others that are pending, alleging violations of the Codey Law, N.J.S.A. 45:9-22.5. The trial court confirmed the awards. Finding that it is limited by N.J.S.A. 2A:23A-18(b) to ensuring that the trial judge confined his actions to those permitted by the Alternative Procedure for Dispute Resolution Act, the panel dismisses plaintiff’s appeal. It also affirms the trial court’s denial of defendants’ motion for attorney’s fees.
