Charley McAnally, Appellant v. Virgie Thompson, Jim Johansen, Carolyn Grabowski, and City of Houston, Appellees

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court affirmed the judgment in favor of the City and its officials. It held that the superior court properly refused to permit McAnally to assert an unpleaded whistleblower claim shortly before trial, correctly instructed the jury that terminating an at-will employee because of a personality conflict does not breach the implied covenant, and properly awarded attorney's fees and costs under the offer-of-judgment rule. There were no separate opinions.
