Shabd-Sangeet Khalsa, Appellant v. Lars Chose, Tamasine Drisdale, Gordon Stein, and Mandala Custom Homes, Appellees

Summary

The court affirmed discovery sanctions dismissing first Khalsa's injury-related claims and then her entire action with prejudice. It held that the superior court properly found willful noncompliance, prejudice to the defendants, a sufficient relationship between the withheld discovery and the sanctions, and the inadequacy of lesser alternatives. The court also upheld the enhanced attorney-fee award because Khalsa had not properly preserved or briefed her challenge and the award was within the superior court's discretion.
