Alaska Supreme Court
Timothy Jones, Appellant v. Randall Westbrook, Appellee
September 23, 20162016 Alas. LEXIS 113
Summary
The Alaska Supreme Court reversed the superior court’s grant of summary judgment, holding that both the legal‑malpractice and UTPA claims accrued only when Jones suffered an appreciable, ascertainable loss after the IRS recorded liens in 2011, not when the sale documents were signed or when he received an inquiry‑notice in 2005. Accordingly, the statutes of limitations had not expired and the case was remanded for further proceedings.
