In re G.C., 2025 UT App 182 (per curiam)

Civil/Summary Judgment

The Utah Court of Appeals held:

  • The district court erred in awarding prejudgment interest to CWS on the line-item damages. 
  • The district court incorrectly awarded attorney fees to CWS.
  • Practice tip: Trial courts are encouraged to make findings to explain factors which they considered relevant in arriving at an attorney fee award.
