Olympic Financial Group, et al. v. ND Dep't of Financial Institutions 2023 ND 38
Docket No.: 20210361
Filing Date: 3/3/2023
Case Type: Appeal - Civil - Other
Author: Jensen, Jon J.

Highlight: Ordinarily, a dismissal without prejudice is not appealable because either side may commence another action.

A dismissal without prejudice may be final and appealable if the plaintiff cannot cure the defect that led to dismissal or if it has the practical effect of terminating the litigation in the plaintiff’s chosen forum.

A district court’s authority to grant declaratory relief requires the exhaustion of administrative remedies.

Docket No.: 20210341
Filing Date: 3/3/2023
Case Type: Appeal - Civil - Insurance
Author: Jensen, Jon J.

Highlight: Interpretation of an insurance policy presents a question of law, reviewed de novo on appeal.

Exclusions from coverage must be clear and explicit and are strictly construed against the insurer.

While exclusionary clauses are strictly construed, an insurance contract will not be rewritten to impose liability when the policy language unambiguously precludes coverage.
