Aaa Valley Gravel, Inc., Appellant v. Alicia Totaro and Herman Ramirez, Appellees

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court affirmed the superior court’s judgment that the original gravel lease was exclusive, upholding the royalty obligations to Totaro, and rejected AAA Valley Gravel’s arguments on exclusivity, burden of persuasion, lease term, and judgment specificity. A dissent argued the lease’s silence on exclusivity makes it non‑exclusive and would reverse the judgment.
