Alaska Supreme Court
Jean R. Kollander, Appellant v. Daryl E. Kollander, Appellee
April 18, 20142014 Alas. LEXIS 67
Summary
The court upheld the superior court’s application of laches to Jean Hollander’s challenge to the accelerated pension payments because her delay was unreasonable and prejudiced Daryl’s ability to defend the claim. The court reversed the award of full attorney’s fees because the superior court failed to apply Alaska Civil Rule 82 and did not make findings supporting enhanced fees for vexatious or bad-faith conduct. The case was remanded for a proper attorney’s-fee determination.
