Alaska Supreme Court
Danyelle D. Kimp v. Fire Lake Plaza II, LLC
March 5, 2021484 P.3d 80
Summary
The Alaska Supreme Court affirmed summary judgment for Fire Lake on both its breach-of-lease counterclaim and Kimp’s claims, affirmed denial of a requested discovery hearing, and affirmed a $221,980.24 damages award. The court held that unpaid rent constituted an immediate default, Kimp’s alleged nonpayment-induced change in position could not support promissory estoppel, and Fire Lake’s conduct did not breach the lease, intentionally interfere with a prospective relationship, or violate the implied covenant. The court also concluded that the discovery ruling was within the superior court’s discretion and that the damages award was supported by the record.
