Ronald v. Weilbacher, Appellant, v. Floyd Ring, Sandra Ring, Wade Henry, and Jane Henry, Appellees

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court affirmed dismissal of Weilbacher’s action because Berube was a necessary and indispensable party to adjudicating the intended three-way transfer of boat tie-up rights, and Weilbacher refused to join him as ordered. The court held that third-party approval requirements did not make the transfer agreements unenforceable, that rescission was unavailable because the parties’ intent could be enforced, that an evidentiary error was harmless, and that enhanced attorney fees were properly awarded. No separate opinions were filed.
