Alaska Supreme Court

Brian L. Taylor, Appellant v. Karen Moutrie-Pelham, Appellee

February 11, 20112011 Alas. LEXIS 5

Summary

The court affirmed the trial court's decision that neither party was the prevailing party for purposes of attorney fees. Each party prevailed on a main issue: Taylor recovered damages for conversion, while Moutrie-Pelham recovered substantial damages for Taylor's lease breach, including unpaid rent. The trial court therefore acted within its discretion in denying attorney fees to both parties.
