  • 2025 ND 88

Syllabus

An attorney's fees sanction under N.D.R.Civ.P. 11 must comply with safeguards in the rule. A court abuses its discretion by deeming an action frivolous if the claim is grounded in a good faith argument for an extension of the current interpretation of the law. A party is not entitled to attorney's fees under N.D.R.App.P. 38 if the action is not frivolous.

Judges: Crothers, Daniel John
