Alaska Supreme Court

Ronald A. Brooks, Appellant v. Timothy Hollaar, Appellee

March 22, 20132013 Alas. LEXIS 35

Summary

The court affirmed the judgment holding that Timothy Hollaar could recover the full amount owed on the promissory notes even though other family members supplied the loan funds, because Timothy was the named payee and could sue either in his own right or as the lenders' agent. The court also held that the promissory-estoppel claim was properly submitted to the jury and that no additional findings were required, and it upheld the attorney-fee award because Hollaar prevailed on the principal debt claim. No separate opinions were filed.
