Rokovitz v. Manley Construction LLC.

Rokovitz v. Manley Construction LLC., 2025 UT App 3 (Harris, J.)

Civil Procedure

The Utah Court of Appeals held:

  • The district court erred when it dismissed parts of Plaintiffs’ contract claim as “not properly pled.”
  • Practice tip: Rule 8 of the Utah Rules of Civil Procedure does not require a plaintiff to plead a specific amount of damages; instead, a plaintiff must indicate that it is seeking damages as a general category of relief and specify which discovery tier the case fits into.
