• 2026 ND 6

Syllabus

The mandate rule, a more specific application of law of the case, requires the district court to follow pronouncements of an appellate court on legal issues in subsequent proceedings of the case and to carry the appellate court's mandate into effect according to its terms. An appellate court retains authority to decide whether the district court on remand fully carried out terms of its mandate.
