233 Minn. 330, 333, 46 N.W.2d 792, 793 (1951) (stating that an unlawful detainer proceeding “merely determines the right to present possession and does not adjudicate the ultimate legal or equitable rights of ownership possessed by the parties” (citation omitted)). But, one of the other factors that limited the scope of an unlawful de-tainer proceeding was the absence of equitable powers in the municipal courts that originally heard those proceedings. Eviction actions are now heard by district courts with full equitable powers.
