In Meat Cutters Local No. 439 v. Olson Bros. (1960) 186 Cal.App.2d 200, the court upheld an arbitration award where the parties had submitted the issues of whether an employee was discharged for good cause and whether he was entitled to reinstatement, and the arbitrator ordered the employee's reinstatement on other grounds. (Id. at pp. 202, 204-205.) The employer argued that the reinstatement issue was impliedly limited to the just cause discharge issue, but the court held that insistence on such a restrictive interpretation of the submission "assaults the real purpose of arbitration proceedings and defeats the original intent of both parties to settle the issue of the employee's separation," particularly where the employer was given notice and an opportunity to defend against the broader issue. (Id. at pp. 204-205.)
