Flint Hills Resources Alaska, LLC, Appellant v. Williams Alaska Petroleum, Inc. and the Williams Companies, Inc…

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court held that Flint Hills's contractual indemnification claim accrued when Williams refused a request for indemnification, not when Flint Hills first learned of the contamination or incurred related losses. It further held that statutory claims concerning off-site contamination were subject to a six-year limitations period and timely, while claims concerning on-site contamination were subject to a two-year period and barred. The court affirmed dismissal of the equitable claims and application of the contractual damages cap, and remanded for further proceedings. No separate opinions were issued.
