1816 REVIEW GRANTED A trial court may consolidate an Uninsured Motorist claim with litigation arising from the same accident, but if it does so, the consolidated claim should be submitted to arbitration; the arbitrator's decision on the Uninsured Motorist claim will be binding, but the decision on the litigation will be non-binding and subject to request for trial de novo.CitationMERCURY v SUPERIOR COURT (U/M Consolidation) 59 CA4 1463 [See: Prudential v Superior Court 36 CA4 275, T/AT 8/95; Gordon v GROUP 49 CA4 998, T/AT 11/96]
