Description
We granted review to address an important question of law: Does a trial court have authority to "consolidate" a contractual arbitration proceeding between an insurer and an insured as to uninsured motorist coverage in the insured's pending action against third parties -strictly speaking, does it have authority to join the insurer as a defendant as to uninsured motorist coverage issues - for all purposes, including trial, in order to avoid conflicting rulings on a common issue of law or fact? As we shall explain, we conclude that the answer that we must give is: Yes.
