John P. Beardsley, Janet N. Beardsley, and Seaport Air Group, LLC v. Robert N. Jacobsen & Darlene F. Jacobsen Living…

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court reversed the superior court’s summary‑judgment order and remanded because genuine disputes of material fact exist regarding (1) whether the Beardsleys personally guaranteed the obligations of Alaska Juneau Aeronautics and (2) whether the 2012 aircraft leases were extensions of the earlier leases or new agreements. The court held that these issues are inappropriate for summary judgment under Alaska’s lenient standard.
