HARVEY v. UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON

No. 51102-5-I.

76 P.3d 276 (2003)

118 Wash.App. 315

Joseph Eddy HARVEY, Appellant, v. UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON, State of Washington, Kaj Johansen, and John Does 1-5, and Providence Medical Center, Respondents.

Court of Appeals of Washington, Division 1.

September 15, 2003.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Kevin Keefe, Seattle, WA, for Appellant.

John A. Rosendahl, Williams Kastner & Gibbs PLLC, Tacoma, WA, Daniel W. Ferm, Williams Kastner & Gibbs PLLC, Mary H. Spillane, Seattle, WA, for Respondents.


AGID, J.

Joseph Harvey appeals a superior court decision dismissing his motion to vacate an arbitrator's decision in a medical malpractice tort claim. He contends this court can review the arbitrator's decision because the provision waiving appeal in the parties' private trial agreement is unenforceable. Because Washington law does not prohibit a knowing waiver of the right to appeal an arbitrator's decision, we affirm the trial court.
