In Moran v. Superior Court (1983) 35 Cal.3d 229, the Court construed the meaning of section 1141.20, which requires trial courts to recalendar a case after arbitration 'so that the trial shall be given the same place on the active list as it had prior to arbitration . . . .' In order to enforce this statutory mandate, we held that after a trial de novo is requested following the filing of an arbitration award 'the time between the date the arbitration award is filed with the court and the date set for the new trial is to be excluded from calculation of the five-year period of section 583(b) now section 583.310.' ( Moran, supra, 35 Cal.3d at p. 242.)
