Involuntary dismissal

The district court's decision regarding involuntary dismissal will not be disturbed unless the court clearly abuses its discretion.  Doug Johns Real Estate v. Banta, 246 Mont. 295, 298, 805 P.2d 1301, 1303 (1990).  Because an involuntary dismissal is a severe result, courts should refrain from dismissing a claim unless there is no other adequate remedy available and the facts call for such a result.  Doug Johns Real Estate, 246 Mont. at 298, 805 P.2d at 1303.
