MT Code § Rule 60 (2021)
2021 Montana Code Annotated|Title 25. Civil Procedure|Chapter 20. Rules of Civil Procedure|Part VII. Judgment|Rule 60. Relief from Judgment or Order

  Rule 60. Relief from Judgment or Order.   (a) Corrections Based on Clerical Mistakes; Oversights and Omissions. The court may correct a clerical mistake or a mistake arising from oversight or omission whenever one is found in a judgment, order, or other part of the record. The court may do so on motion or on its own, with or without notice. But after an appeal has been docketed in the supreme court and while it is pending, such a mistake may be corrected only with the supreme court's leave.   (b) Grounds for Relief from a Final Judgment, Order, or Proceeding. On motion and just terms, the court may relieve a party or its legal representative from a final judgment, order, or proceeding for the following reasons:   (1) mistake, inadvertence, surprise, or excusable neglect;   (2) newly discovered evidence that, with reasonable diligence, could not have been discovered in time to move for a new trial under Rule 59(b);   (3) fraud (whether previously called intrinsic or extrinsic), misrepresentation, or misconduct by an opposing party;   (4) the judgment is void;   (5) the judgment has been satisfied, released, or discharged; it is based on an earlier judgment that has been reversed or vacated; or applying it prospectively is no longer equitable; or   (6) any other reason that justifies relief.   (c) Timing and Effect of the Motion.   (1) Timing. A motion under Rule 60(b) must be made within a reasonable time -- and for reasons (1), (2), and (3) no more than a year after the entry of the judgment or order or the date of the proceeding. Motions provided by Rule 60(b) must be determined within the times provided by Rule 59 in the case of motions for new trials and amendment of judgment, and if the court shall fail to rule on the motion within the time frames set forth in Rule 59(f), the motion must be deemed denied. A motion filed under this rule shall follow the format set forth in Rule 59(b).   (2) Effect on Finality. The motion does not affect the judgment's finality or suspend its operation.   (d) Other Powers to Grant Relief. This rule does not limit a court's power to:   (1) entertain an independent action to relieve a party from a judgment, order, or proceeding;   (2) grant relief to a defendant who was not personally notified of the action; or   (3) set aside a judgment for fraud on the court.   (e) Bills and Writs Abolished. The following are abolished: bills of review, bills in the nature of bills of review, and writs of coram nobis, coram vobis, and audita querela.   History: En. Sup. Ct.

  Rule 61. Harmless Error. Unless justice requires otherwise, no error in admitting or excluding evidence -- or any other error by the court or a party -- is ground for granting a new trial, for setting aside a verdict, or for vacating, modifying, or otherwise disturbing a judgment or order. At every stage of the proceeding, the court must disregard all errors and defects that do not affect any party's substantial rights.   History: En. Sup. Ct. Ord. No. AF 07-0157, April 26, 2011, eff.

  Rule 62.1. Indicative Rule on a Motion for Relief that is Barred by a Pending Appeal.   (a) Relief Pending Appeal. If a timely motion is made for relief that the court lacks authority to grant because of an appeal that has been docketed and is pending, the court may:   (1) defer considering the motion;   (2) deny the motion; or   (3) state either that it would grant the motion if the supreme court remands for that purpose or that the motion raises a substantial issue.   (b) Notice to the Supreme Court. The movant must promptly notify the supreme court clerk if the district court states that it would grant the motion or that the motion raises a substantial issue.   (c) Remand. The district court may decide the motion if the supreme court remands for that purpose.   History: En. Sup. Ct. Ord. No. AF 07-0157, April 26, 2011, eff. Oct. 1, 2011.

If any part of the relief sought is a money judgment or the disposition of a sum of money or some other deliverable thing, a party -- on notice to every other party and by leave of court -- may deposit with the court all or part of the money or thing, whether or not that party claims any of it.

  Rule 68. Offer of Judgment.   (a) Making an Offer; Judgment on an Accepted Offer. More than 14 days before the trial begins, a party defending against a claim may serve on an opposing party an offer to allow judgment on specified terms, with the costs then accrued. If, within 14 days after being served, the opposing party serves written notice accepting the offer, either party may then file the offer and notice of acceptance, plus proof of service. The clerk must then enter judgment.   (b) Unaccepted Offer. An unaccepted offer is considered withdrawn, but it does not preclude a later offer. Evidence of an unaccepted offer is not admissible except in a proceeding to determine costs.   (c) Offer after Liability is Determined. When one party's liability to another has been determined but the extent of liability remains to be determined by further proceedings, the party held liable may make an offer of judgment. It must be served within a reasonable time -- but at least 14 days -- before a hearing to determine the extent of liability.   (d) Paying Costs after an Unaccepted Offer. If the judgment that the offeree finally obtains is not more favorable than the unaccepted offer, the offeree must pay the costs incurred after the offer was made.   History: En. Sup. Ct. Ord. No. AF 07-0157, April 26, 2011, eff. Oct. 1, 2011.

  Rule 70. Enforcing a Judgment for a Specific Act.   (a) Party's Failure to Act; Ordering Another to Act. If a judgment requires a party to convey land, to deliver a deed or other document, or to perform any other specific act and the party fails to comply within the time specified, the court may order the act to be done -- at the disobedient party's expense -- by another person appointed by the court. When done, the act has the same effect as if done by the party.   (b) Vesting Title. If the real or personal property is within the state, the court -- instead of ordering a conveyance -- may enter a judgment divesting any party's title and vesting it in others. That judgment has the effect of a legally-executed conveyance.   (c) Obtaining a Writ of Attachment or Sequestration. On application by a party entitled to performance of an act, the court may order the clerk to issue a writ of attachment or sequestration against the disobedient party's property to compel obedience.   (d) Obtaining a Writ of Execution or Assistance. On application by a party who obtains a judgment or order for possession, the clerk must issue a writ of execution or assistance.   (e) Holding in Contempt. The court may also hold the disobedient party in contempt.   History: En. Sup. Ct. Ord. No. AF 07-0157, April 26, 2011, eff. Oct. 1, 2011.
