Alaska Supreme Court

Yvan Safar, Appellant v. Wells Fargo Bank, N.a., Appellee

July 15, 20112011 Alas. LEXIS 61

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court affirmed the judgment rejecting Safar's promissory-estoppel claim and awarding Wells Fargo unpaid rent, costs, interest, and attorney's fees. The court held that the trial court's factual findings were supported by the record and were not clearly erroneous, and that Wells Fargo's loan officer made no sufficiently definite actual promise to reimburse Safar. The court therefore did not reach the remaining elements of promissory estoppel.
