California Court of Appeal

Grant of demurrer in favor of defendants, in case alleging professional negligence in providing forensic accounting services, is affirmed as, under the retainer agreement, the issue of professional negligence was to be litigated initially through arbitration, and plaintiff's failure to comply with it resulted in the forfeiture of her right to sue defendants for malpractice.
