Under the broad form of arbitration clause in a motor
vehicle retail order form, which required parties to arbitrate
"any claim . . . that may arise out of or relat[e] to the
purchase" of the car and "the financing thereof[,]" the pur-

false imprisonment and malicious prosecution, based on the
seller reporting the car stolen when purchaser retained car
despite seller's demand for its return after financing could not
