August 24, 2018426 P.3d 868
Summary
The Alaska Supreme Court affirmed the superior court’s judgment, holding that the joint, unapportioned Rule 68 offer of judgment was invalid, the reduction of attorney’s fees from 20% to 15% under Rule 82(b)(3) was not an abuse of discretion, the denial of enhanced fees for claim reasonableness and vexatious conduct was proper, the refusal to further reduce fees based on alleged attorney misconduct was proper, and the discovery sanctions imposed on the self‑represented plaintiffs were not an abuse of discretion.
