H. W. Dobbins v. Gary T. Kramer

AMG Franchises, Inc. (hereinafter, "AMG") appeals from the trial courts judgment vacating an arbitration award entered by the American Arbitration Association (hereinafter, "AAA") against Crack Team USA, Inc. (hereinafter, "Crack Team") for nonpayment of services to AMG in the amount of $604,581.17. AMG raises two points on appeal arguing the trial court erred in vacating the arbitration award. First, AMG claims the trial court erred in finding AAA improperly refused to postpone the hearing due to alleged procedural defects in the notice requirement. Second, AMG argues Crack Team did not suffer any substantial prejudice as a result of the notice of the hearing location arriving less than ten days prior to the hearing. We dismiss the appeal.
