Alaska Supreme Court
Deverette L. Williams v. Violeta Baker Last Frontier Assisted Living, LLC. Johnny Lee Williams Personalized Tax…
August 2, 2019446 P.3d 336
Summary
The Alaska Supreme Court affirmed Deverette Williams’s liability for unjust enrichment but reversed the lower court’s finding that she owed a fiduciary duty to Baker, vacated the fraud judgment against her, and eliminated the treble damages under the UTPA. The court held that the record did not show a fiduciary relationship, that burden‑shifting was improper, and remanded for further determination of any fraud liability.
