Highlight

Actions involving fraud are not commonly suited for summary judgment; however, if a party fails to support his or her opposition to summary judgment with sufficient facts to show there is a genuine issue for trial, then, even in these cases, summary judgment may be appropriate.
When specific performance is requested under North Dakota law, a court may inquire into the adequacy of the consideration supporting a contract. Mere inadequacy of consideration, however, does not justify a denial of specific performance in the absence of unfairness or undue influence.
