Chudnovsky v. Chapman Med. Ctr – Summary

CONTRACT

Chudnovsky v. Chapman Med. Ctr., G047990 (Cal. Ct. App. Dec. 23, 2013)

A California Court of Appeal found that an arbitrator did not exceed his authority by finding that a no-cause termination provision in an agreement between plaintiff-physician and a defendant medical center was “null, void and ineffective” in light of a medical staff bylaws provision that allowed termination of membership and privileges solely for specific “for cause” reasons.
