Sunny Haight, Personal Representative of the Estate of Savannah Cayce v. City & Borough of Juneau

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court affirmed the summary‑judgment ruling granting the City of Juneau discretionary function immunity, holding that the City’s decision not to regulate motorized‑watercraft safety on Auke Lake was a protected planning decision. The Court also held that the plaintiff’s claim that the City failed to enforce its ordinance was forfeited and that the expert‑witness affidavit argument was unnecessary.
