Mary Hill D/b/a Wild Rose Gardens Assisted Living Home, Appellant v. Linda Giani, State of Alask — Stowers, J…

March 8, 20132013 Alas. LEXIS 24

Summary

The concurrence agrees with the court's decision to reverse summary judgment for Giani, emphasizing that the evidence concerning her good-faith belief in the report of harm created a genuine factual dispute. It explains that summary judgment does not permit weighing evidence, resolving credibility, or drawing inferences for the moving party. The concurrence also recognizes that the statutory qualified-immunity scheme may create difficult policy consequences for mandatory reporters, but states that changing the scope of immunity is a legislative responsibility.
