Opinion
Lead Opinion
Needham, J.
Appellants Cortland Bohacek and Puja Bohacek, in her capacity as trustee of the 2000 Bohacek Family Trust, appeal from an order denying their petition to compel arbitration of claims alleged against them in a cross-complaint filed by respondents. They contend (1) the order must be *683 reversed due to the court’s refusal to issue a statement of decision; (2) the court erred in finding that they waived their right to arbitrate; and (3) the court erred in denying their petition on the ground that there would be a possibility of conflicting rulings on common questions of law or fact.
In the published portion of our opinion, we conclude that the trial court erred in failing to issue a statement of decision under Code of Civil Procedure section 1291 and the appellate record does not support the denial of arbitration under Code of Civil Procedure section 1281.2, subdivision (c). In the unpublished portion of our opinion, we conclude that the waiver finding was erroneous. We will therefore reverse the order and remand for further consideration consistent with this opinion.
