Opinion
CROSKEY, J.
This case comes to us on an appeal from the trial court’s order denying a motion to compel arbitration. While this case arises in the context of an attempt to enforce an arbitration clause, the dispositive issue is whether there was fraud in the execution of the entire brokerage account *945agreement, of which the arbitration clause was only a part. This case, therefore, is not really about arbitration but rather involves a bank’s creation of a fiduciary relationship with one of its customers and the consequences that flow therefrom.
