Syllabus

Petition to compel arbitration R.C. 2711.03(A) and (B) denial of discovery request abuse of discretion. Successor to investor fund filed petition to compel arbitration to resolve fund manager's claim for fees. The trial court properly limited its inquiry to determining the validity of the arbitration agreement in granting the petition to compel arbitration and properly found that it was necessary to apply terms of the contract containing the arbitration provision to resolve the parties' dispute. The trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying fund manager further discovery where there was no showing discovery would assist in determining the validity of the arbitration agreement.
