Outcome

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court affirmed the Commonwealth Court's decision vacating the arbitrator's award and remanding for a full arbitration hearing. The arbitrator improperly violated the City's procedural due process rights by precluding all evidence as a sanction for the City's failure to comply with a subpoena, despite the City's prompt correction of a clerical error.
