P1077 An arbitration award that exceeded the arbitrator's powers by including a written opinion in spite of a clause in the arbitration agreement that called for a decision without written opinion easily could have been corrected by deleting the superfluous opinion, so the trial court's order returning it to the arbitrator, who said he would make substantive changes, was impermissible.CitationALLSTATE v SUPERIOR COURT (Verbose Award) 142 CA4 356 [See: CCP 1286.2, 1286.4, 1286.6, 1286.8; Crowell v Downey 95 CA4 730, P/AT 3/02]
