Physician’s Award In Arbitration Against Medical Practice Affirmed By Connecticut Appellate Court

The Connecticut Appellate Court has affirmed an arbitration award in favor of a physician against his former practice. In The Norwalk Medical Group, P.C. v. Yee, the court affirmed an award granting the physician the benefits of a buyout against the practice, but denied recovery against the individual physicians of the group. The court rejected claims that the arbitrator had rendered an imperfect award by failing to state reasons underlying his decision regarding attorney’s fees.
