Northpark Holdings LLC v. Duke Rental Co. LLC

Northpark Holdings LLC v. Duke Rental Co. LLC, 2025 UT App 42 (Harris, J.)

Property Law

The Utah Court of Appeals held:

  • The district court had jurisdiction to dismiss the complaint as a sanction for failure to comply with an attorney fees order
  • The district court’s finding that the party did not act with substantial justification in filing lis pendens was not clearly erroneous
  • Practice tip: Absent a stay of enforcement, the district court retains jurisdiction to consider issues related to the enforcement of attorney fees order even after an appeal of that order is filed.
