Issues: Appellant's Statement of the Issues:
I. Whether Associated Electric and Gas Insurance Services Limited ("AEGIS"), an Excess Liability Insurance Carrier, Must Submit to Binding Arbitration Under N.D.C.C.  26.1-41-17 Which Provides that a Basic No-Fault Insurer May Seek Equitable Allocation From a Motor Vehicle Insurer.
