Plaintiff corporation sued insurer to recover alleged overpayments of premiums under workers' compensation policies. Scope of arbitration clause in Rating Agreements did not reach the Plaintiff's causes of action, as pled in Complaint, to trigger the clause. Generic language in an arbitration clause does not necessarily mean that the scope of the arbitration clause reaches to disputes involving matters arising from other contracts, such as the insurance policies. (CHAPMAN and DONOVAN, concurring.)
