Contracts

The Utah Court of Appeals held:

  • The district court did not err when it concluded that the parties’ oral agreement was supported by consideration.
  • Appellant’s argument regarding the adequacy of the district court’s findings was not preserved.
  • The district court did not err when it concluded that Appellant breached the oral agreement.
  • Practice tip: The decision to give up a potential lawsuit is an act of forbearance which may serve as valid consideration for a contract.
