Alaska Supreme Court

Lee E. Baker Jr. v. Kenneth M. Duffus

May 17, 2019441 P.3d 432

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court reversed the superior court’s summary‑judgment ruling, holding that Baker’s 2015 counterclaims were compulsory to Duffus’s 2013 amended cross‑complaint, automatically relate back under Alaska Rule 15(c), and therefore are not barred by the statutes of limitation; the case was remanded for a new trial on both parties’ claims.
