that the trial court’s decision to render summary judgment sua sponte was justified by several factors: (1) the dispositive issue was raised at the pretrial conference and incorporated in the court’s pretrial order; (2) the defendants were afforded a twenty-day opportunity to prepare to meet the issue; (3) the defendants were allowed an opportunity to make their offer of proof at an in-chambers conference on the day set for trial; (4) the defendants availed themselves of the opportunity by attempting to show genuine issues of fact and were fully heard on all questions; (5) the trial court ruled on the pertinent issues; (6) the defendants did not object on the record to the court’s procedure; and (7) the defendants could not show they were prejudiced by the lack of a formal summary judgment motion. Id. at 279-80, 230 N.W.2d at 591.
