RULE 57. DECLARATORY JUDGMENTS
The procedure for obtaining a declaratory judgment pursuant to Chapter 32-23, N.D.C.C., shall be in accordance with these rules, and the right to trial by jury may be demanded under the circumstances and in the manner provided in Rules 38 and 39. The existence of another adequate remedy does not preclude a judgment for declaratory relief in cases where it is appropriate. The court may order a speedy hearing of an action for a declaratory judgment and may advance it on the calendar.
EXPLANATORY NOTE
Rule 57 is identical to Rule 57, FRCivP, except for reference to the appropriate provisions of the North Dakota Century Code instead of the United States Code.
