Baadsgaard Family Trust v. Robert J. Stevens

Baadsgaard Family Trust v. Robert J. Stevens, 2026 UT App 68
(Orme, J.)

Civil/Administration

The Utah Court of Appeals held:

(1) An honesty provision in a mediation agreement, requiring parties to disclose all relevant information and documents, creates a contractual duty requiring disclosure even if there was constructive notice of an acquisition through the recording statutes.
(2) Information regarding a recent acquisition of a contiguous parcel is relevant to a boundary-by-acquiescence claim and should have been disclosed in a mediation where the parties signed an honesty provision.
