Robert C. Keeton Iii v. State of Alaska, Department of Transportation and Public Facilities Matanuska-Susitna…

Summary

The court held that prejudgment interest in a condemnation action applies only to the compensation awarded for the property taken and related damages, not to attorney's fees and costs. It also upheld the postjudgment interest rate and declined to decide the challenge to the subpoena for the State's billing records because that issue was moot. The court vacated the attorney's-fee award and remanded for the superior court to explain any exclusions from the full-fee award that is ordinarily available.
