Cynthia J. Notti v. David G. Hoffman

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court affirmed dismissal of Notti's claim that sexual contact induced by a false promise to remain married constituted rape by fraud, holding that Alaska does not recognize that tort on these facts. It reversed summary judgment on Notti's remaining tort claims because the parties' settlement agreement became enforceable when signed, not when later approved in the divorce proceeding, and remanded for determination whether the litigation waiver bars those claims. The opinion contains no separate writings.
