[14] On remand, should the trial court determine, in resolving the motion to compel arbitration, that the Agreement is void for fraud in the execution, this determination would not foreclose a jury trial on the Browns' causes of action regarding Wells Fargo's allegedly improper sale of the Sav-On stock.

2001(Tyler v. Children’s Home Society, supra, 29 Cal.App.4th 511, 527, 538 .) In making the determination of whether the parent had been prejudiced, the court noted a “contract of relinquishment cannot be rescinded when it appears that consent would have been given and the contract entered into notwithstanding the fraud or undue influence.” (Id., at p. 529.) Dolores argues that Tyler is not analogous as the relinquishments there had been received and acknowledged by DSS.

1977In De Luz Homes, Inc. v. County of San Diego, supra, 45 Cal.2d 546, 564 , the court reinterpreted the ‘something-equivalent-to-fraud’ standard as allowing judicial review for ‘arbitrariness, abuse of discretion, or failure to follow the standards prescribed by the Legislature,’ and this standard now appears to have replaced the less specific constructive fraud standard of the Mahoney era. [Citations.]” (16 Cal.3d at pp. 21-23, fn. omitted.) In the light of the foregoing analysis we find that the precedents relied upon by the taxpayers are controlling.
