United States Eleventh Circuit

In suit alleging various financial advisors provided plaintiff and a charitable remainder trust with unsound financial advice, partial grant, and partial denial, of defendants' motion to compel arbitration is reversed in part where the district court erred in holding that: 1) all aspects of plaintiff's individual claims were not subject to arbitration because she was not a signatory to the three agreements that contained arbitration clauses; 2) certain defendants could not compel plaintiff to arbitrate the claims against them concerning matters that arose from the three agreements; and 3) plaintiff's claim for an accounting was not subject to arbitration since a claim for an accounting is only a remedy attached to an independent cause of action.
