Christopher Jinsoo Chung, Appellant v. Rora Park, Lakeview LLC, and Glacier Masonry & Excavating, Inc., Appellees

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court vacated the award of restoration damages for tree removal because the landowner had not shown a reason personal and the restoration costs were disproportionate to the loss in property value, and remanded for recalculation of prejudgment interest and attorney's fees; it also held that treble damages could not be based on an improper restoration award.
