Charles Nash, Appellant v. Matanuska-Susitna Borough, Appellee

Summary

The court held that the borough board’s hearing violated procedural due process because Nash lacked advance notice about who could testify and was effectively prevented from presenting relevant, material witness evidence. Because the administrative hearing did not provide a full and fair opportunity to be heard, Nash was entitled to a trial de novo in superior court on his contract claims. The court reversed the superior court’s due-process ruling and remanded, leaving the merits of the contract dispute unresolved.
