Supreme Court of Minnesota
State of Minnesota Office of the Attorney General v. Madison Equities, Inc.
January 7, 2026
Summary
The court held that litigation over a civil investigative demand tolls the limitations period for a civil enforcement action brought by the Attorney General when the demand and subsequent action concern the same alleged unlawful practice. The court reasoned that the Attorney General's statutory investigative process and duty to become satisfied before commencing enforcement justified equitable tolling during the CID litigation, and it reversed and remanded for reinstatement of the claim.
