</div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A little litigation guidance is appreciated here. I recently won a private binding arbitration decision for a client over a dispute about the proper interpretation of a CC&R. The arbitrator agreed with my interpretation and the HOA needs
to back off trying to enforce the CC&Rs using its erroneous interpretation. No attorney fees were awarded. I vaguely recall that there is a procedure to file the arbitration decision with the superior court. Does it matter if there are no attorney fees
to collect? Would the arbitration decision carry more weight (from a compliance standpoint), if it was converted into a judgment? Thanks for your guidance.
