P1517 REVIEW DENIED Following arbitration under the Mandatory Fee Arbitration Act, an attorney who filed a complaint by which the matter was to be litigated thereby rejected the arbitration award; for this reason, the client's filing of a cross-complaint did not waive the client's rights under the Act, since none existed at the time the cross-complaint was filed; following dismissal of the complaint and cross-complaint for failure diligently to prosecute, the client was entitled to have the arbitration award confirmed and judgment entered on it.CitationPEREZ v GRAJALES (Repudiated Rejection) 169 CA4 580 [See: B&PC 6200 etseq; CCP 583.310, 583.360; Aguilar v Lerner 32 C4 974, P/AT 5/04; Maynard v Brandon 36 C4 364, P/AT 9/05]
