Description
This case concerns events surrounding the National Bank of Alaska's (NBA) foreclosure of Michael Barber's duplex property.
Barber appeals the superior court's grant of partial summary judgment and directed verdict. The superior court dismissed by
summary judgment Barber's claims under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act 1 and the Alaska Unfair Trade and
Consumer Practices Act. 2 The superior court granted NBA's motion for a directed verdict on Barber's claims of general
negligence, misrepresentation, breach of covenants of good faith and fair dealing, and punitive damages. NBA received $30,000
in attorney's fees which Barber also appeals. We affirm summary judgment on the federal and state statutory claims. We affirm as well the directed verdict on the claim
of breach of implied covenants of good faith and fair dealing. We reverse and remand for trial the negligence claim, one of
the misrepresentation claims, and the related punitive damage claims. We also vacate the award of attorney's fees.
