Alaska Supreme Court
Fred v. Angleton, Robert Fulton, and Robert Summers
September 3, 20102010 Alas. LEXIS 97
Summary
The court affirmed dismissal of the nonprofit derivative claim because Alaska law does not provide nonprofit members with a derivative cause of action. It reversed summary judgment on the damages claims because the prior contempt proceeding was dismissed as moot without deciding those claims on their merits, so neither claim preclusion nor issue preclusion applied. The court also affirmed the superior court's refusal to take judicial notice of disputed factual assertions and declined to decide the amendment issue, remanding for further proceedings.
