Case No. 2020-CV-01732
South Central Judicial District, Burleigh County
Bruce A. Romanick
2021 ND 166964 N.W.2d 514
Oral Argument 6/7/2021

Highlight

An individual who performs services for another for remuneration is presumed to be an employee of the person for which the services are performed, unless it is proven that the individual is an independent contractor under the common-law test.

Whether a worker is an independent contractor or an employee is a mixed question of fact and law.

To be entitled to an award attorney’s fees under N.D.C.C. § 28-32-50, a non-agency party must meet a two-part test: 1) the non-administrative agency party must prevail, and 2) the agency must have acted without substantial justification.
