Janice L. Park v. Bradley Brown and Karen Brown

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court held that Janice Park established adverse possession of both the fenced and extrapolated areas adjoining her residential lot. The court concluded that possession could be tacked to her former husband's possession, that the 2003 amendments did not eliminate tacking, and that Park's maintenance and use of the extrapolated area satisfied the statutory elements. The court also rejected Park's judicial-bias claim, reversed the judgment, vacated the attorney's-fee award, and remanded for entry of judgment in Park's favor.
