§ 30.1-01-03 — (1-106) Effect of fraud and evasion

Whenever fraud has been perpetrated in connection with any proceeding or in any
statement filed under this title, or if fraud is used to avoid or circumvent the provisions or
purposes of this title, any person injured thereby may obtain appropriate relief against the
perpetrator of the fraud or restitution from any person, other than a bona fide purchaser,
benefiting from the fraud, whether innocent or not. Any proceeding must be commenced within
two years after the discovery of the fraud, but no proceeding may be brought against one not a
perpetrator of the fraud later than five years after the time of commission of the fraud. This
section has no bearing on remedies relating to fraud practiced on a decedent during the
decedent's lifetime which affects the succession of the decedent's estate.
