Highlight

In a proceeding under N.D.C.C. 47-16-39.1 to recover unpaid oil and gas royalties, a "prevailing party" is entitled to reasonable attorney's fees.
The amount of statutory interest to be awarded on unpaid royalties is calculated using simple interest, rather than compound interest.
A corporation that purchases the assets of another corporation does not succeed to the liabilities of the selling corporation, subject to certain recognized exceptions, such as when there is an express or an implied agreement to assume the transferor's liability.
