CompFox AI Summary
Justice Harvey Brown concurs with the court's decision, which remands an arbitration award because it failed to provide a reasoned basis for rejecting a key contention. Brown argues that the arbitrator's award was not reasoned as it completely omitted discussion of Stage's third critical contention regarding Gunnerson's lack of proper notice and opportunity to cure an alleged breach of an employment agreement. He criticizes existing definitions of reasoned award as sometimes inadequate, proposing that such awards must offer basic explanations for rejecting key arguments unless those contentions are frivolous or implicitly addressed. Brown concludes that the omission of Stage's dispositive notice-and-cure defense rendered the arbitration award unreasoned under both existing legal precedent and his proposed comprehensive definition.
