PEDERSON, Justice,
concurring specially.
My views on the proper role of “arbitrators” and “courts” were expressed in my dissent in West Fargo Public Sch. Dist. v. West Fargo Ed., 259 N.W.2d 612, 620 (N.D. 1977). My position is no different merely because we substitute the words “appraiser” or “umpire” for “arbitrator.”
Unless the Legislature redefines the roles, apparently the question is not open for reconsideration in this court. I therefore concur because precedent obligates me to do so.
