§ 32-18-06 — Counterclaim - Injunction against canceling contract

When it shall be made to appear by affidavit of the vendee or purchaser, or the vendee's or
purchaser's assigns, agent, or attorney, to the satisfaction of a judge of the district court of the
county where the property is situated, that the vendee or purchaser, or the vendee's or
purchaser's assigns, has a legal counterclaim or any other valid defense against the collection
of the whole or any part of the amount claimed to be due on such contract, such judge, by an
order to that effect, may enjoin the vendor or the vendor's successor in interest from the
cancellation of such contract by notice and may direct that all further proceedings for the
cancellation be had in the district court properly having jurisdiction of the subject matter, and, for
the purpose of carrying out the provisions thereof, service may be made upon the vendor or the
vendor's assigns or upon the vendor's attorney or agent.
