North Dakota Century Code Title 4.1. Agriculture § 4.1-57-14. Report--Notice to claimants--Payment of claims

Upon recovery of the trust fund, or so much of the fund as is possible to recover or necessary to pay all outstanding claims, the seed commissioner shall file a report in court showing the amount payable on each claim. If the fund is insufficient to pay all claims in full, the seed commissioner shall prorate the fund among the claimants. The court shall notify the claimants by mail regarding the proposed distribution and direct that the claimants show cause why the report should not be approved and distribution made in accordance with the report. After holding a hearing on the matter, the court shall approve or modify the report, issue an order directing the distribution of the fund, and discharge the seed commissioner from all duties as trustee.
