Marks v. Bober

Plaintiff entered into contract with Defendant accounting firm to manage accounting for her investment accounts, and later a separate, oral investment advisory agreement. Plaintiff sued based on her dissatisfaction with investment services. Written contract for accounting contained arbitration provision. Court properly denied Defendants' petition to compel arbitration. Engagement letters for two contracts and written contract's arbitration clause do not indicate intent that arbitration would apply to investment services, thus scope of arbitration clause is limited to accounting disputes only, and does not apply to separate dispute over investment services.
