Sharin S. Anderson, Appellant v. Alyeska Pipeline Service Co., Appellee — Christen, J., Dissenting

Summary

Justice Christen dissented from the court's conclusion that Alyeska's nominal offer of judgment could not support an award of attorney's fees under Rule 68. She would have affirmed the superior court's fee award because Alyeska disclosed its statutory defense, provided legislative-history research, sought early dismissal, and faced a legally weak claim that did not require factual discovery to evaluate.
