Retired Judge Waddington's hosannas to C.C.P. Section 1295 ["Statutorily Approved Arbitration Clauses Could Provide Relief," May 24] suggests that he makes a very good living courtesy of MICRA, which was the overall vehicle in which C.C.P. Section 1295 was a minor cog.
The Legislature, if pressured enough, might well decree that the "sun rises in the west and sets in the east." Would that be any more true than saying that compelled arbitration (C.C.P. Section 1295) is oppressive, adhesive and is designed to throw malpractice cases into arbitration? A rational person knows the answer to that query is a resounding "no!"
