Cynthia Aiken Janet Carter and Regional Alcohol and Drug Abuse Counselor Training Program v. Alaska Addiction…

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court largely affirmed the superior court's ruling that the nonprofit corporation incorporated in 2014 was the same organization as the previously dissolved corporation, that the 2015 member election validly installed Ogilvie and her associates as directors, and that Aiken and Carter lacked authority to act for the corporation. It rejected the defendants' dissolution-statute and capacity-to-sue defenses, affirmed judgments against Carter and Ogilvie on tortious-interference claims, and held that the superior court had not adequately explained its disposition of RADACT's claim against Akeela. The court also vacated the attorney-fee order because the superior court improperly excused Aiken and Carter from fees solely because they were not personally liable.
