Should Judicate West or its Sana Ana, CA venue be unavailable for any reason whatsoever, the parties hereby agree to the following in this order: selecting another Judicate West venue which is closest to Consultant; using JAMS for mediation and arbitration in a venue closest to Consultant; using AAA for mediation and arbitration in a venue closest to Consultant; and using another alternate dispute provider for mediation and arbitration in a venue closest to Consultant. Any final determination by binding arbitration may be enforced by a Court having competent jurisdiction.
Attorney’s Fees
28. In any action brought heretofore, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its actual costs and attorney's fees, plus all actual costs and attorney's fees incurred in connection with the enforcement of a decision or judgment arising from that action or proceeding.
