P1388 Following fee arbitration under the Mandatory Fee Arbitration Act (Business & Professions Code section 6200 et seq.) a party seeking a trial must either start a new lawsuit or, if an action for the fee is pending, file a motion in that action; a party seeking payment of an arbitration award must file a petition to confirm it; motions made in the pending personal injury action from which the fee dispute arose do not satisfy either requirement.CitationLOEB v RECORD (Fee Dispute) 162 CA4 431 [See: B&PC 6200 etseq; Howell v Valley 129 CA4 1076, P/AT 7/05]
