| Issues: |
Appellant's Statement of the Issues: 1. Was summary judgment properly granted to Matrix Properties Corporation? 2. Can a court of equity take away a person's legal title to real property when the legal owner has been only partially paid or not paid for his legal interest? 3. Does the fact of non-payment of a purchase price preclude the contract vendee from quieting title on his vendor? 4. Was the lower court's reliance upon res judicata misplaced? 5. Should the judgment be reversed because of the irregularity of the judicial notice taken of former proceedings? 6. Is there any evidence to support the judgment? 7. Is the judgment contrary to statutory law, former decisions of the Supreme Court of North Dakota and contrary to Due Process of Law and Equal Protection of the Laws as guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America? 8. Should the monetary judgment to sanction TAG Investments and Garaas be reversed because it is contrary to the law, the facts and N.D.R.Civ.P 11? Appellee's Statement of the Issues: 1. Did the Trial Court err in granting summary judgment? 2. Did the Trial Court err in ruling that Appellants were paid? 3. Did the Trial Court err in following the dictates of Matrix Properties Corporation v. TAG Investments, 2001 ND 128, 636 N.W.2d 674? 4. Did the Trial Court err in awarding sanctions under Rule 11? | ||||||
