P1207 Arbitrators who denied the request for a continuance made by a party who initiated the arbitration, refused to appear at one arbitration hearing, twice brought legal actions against the other party and was twice ordered to arbitrate them, and who offered no excuse for failing to timely assert additional claims arising from the same facts on which it attempted to sue were acting within their discretion because they reasonably could have concluded that there was no good cause for further delay, so a court lacks power to vacate the award on the ground that the arbitrator rejected a postponement request supported by sufficient cause resulting in substantial prejudice.CitationSWAB v E*TRADE (Arbitration Continuance) 150 CA4 1181 [See: CCP 1282.2, 1281.4; Hall v Superior Court 18 CA4 427, T/AT 11/93]
