Alaska Supreme Court

Kevin O'Connell, Appellant v. Anthony Will and Paulette Will, Appellees — Fabe, J., Dissenting

October 28, 20112011 Alas. LEXIS 112

Summary

Justice Fabe, joined by Justice Christen, dissented from the conclusion that the contract's attorney-fee provision authorized post-judgment collection costs. The dissent reasoned that the phrase "reasonable attorney's fee in such suit or action" covers fees incurred in litigating the action through judgment, not expenses incurred enforcing the judgment. The dissent would have affirmed the superior court.
