Griffin v. Snow Christensen & Martineau, 2025 UT 16 (Pohlman, J.)
Civil
The Utah Supreme Court held:
- The Court of Appeals erred when it concluded that a law firm administrator was a managing or general agent for purposes of service.
- Practice tip: For purposes of service under rule 4(d)(1)(E), a managing agent or general agent is a person with general power involving the exercise of judgment and discretion, as opposed to an ordinary agent who acts under the discretion and control of the principal.
