SANDERS, J.

This case requires us to address whether the trial de novo appeal process from mandatory arbitration under chapter 7.06 RCW sufficiently protects the rights of small claimants who are aggrieved by an arbitrator's erroneous act. We hold it does and that trial de novo is the sole method to seek judicial review from mandatory arbitration. Accordingly, we reverse the Court of Appeals.
