Civil Procedure
Arbitration; jurisdiction

Toney Law Offices, S.C. appeals judgments confirming an arbitration award awarding damages against Toney for breaching a lease and assessing it one-half of the arbitrator's fees. Toney argues: (1) the arbitrator lacked jurisdiction to hear the dispute because the parties failed to comply with the contractual provisions for selecting an arbitrator; (2) the arbitrator lacked jurisdiction to decide a rescission issue; (3) the arbitrator disregarded the law, and engaged in misconduct and partiality; (4) the arbitrator erroneously exercised his discretion by failing to adjourn the hearing; and (5) the judgment assessing one-half of the arbitrator's fees against Toney should be vacated. We reject Toney's arguments and affirm. This opinion will not be published.
