Alaska Supreme Court

Andy L. James v. Alaska Frontier Constructors, Inc. and Nanuq, Inc.

July 31, 2020468 P.3d 711

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court reversed the superior court’s summary‑judgment rulings, vacated the judgment against Andy James, and remanded for further proceedings because material factual disputes precluded judgment as a matter of law on the companies’ statutory employer immunity, joint‑venture status, contractor/subcontractor relationships, and James’s employee status.
