Syllabus

Arbitration agreement R.C. 2711.02 stay of proceedings abuse of discretion. An insured filed a declaratory-judgment action against an insurer that sought to determine whether the insurer has a subrogation interest as to medical payments as to the insured's settlement agreement with another insurance company. Because the issue of subrogation of medical payments by the insurer is subject to an arbitration agreement between the insurance companies, the trial court did not abuse its discretion by staying the proceedings even though the insured was not a party to the arbitration agreement.
