Globe Contracting v. Hour
Globe Contracting v. Hour, 2025 UT App 98 (Tenney, J.)
Contract/Civil Procedure
The Utah Court of Appeals held:
- The district court correctly determined that Hour was liable for breach of contract, and it correctly calculated damages.
- The district court incorrectly awarded prejudgment interest and costs as well as attorney fees to Globe.
- Practice tip: When a party is awarded attorney fees, and the proposed fees include travel time for non-local counsel, the district court should determine the reasonableness of the travel time and decision to hire non-local counsel.
