Schmith v. Schmit
Schmith v. Schmit, 2025 UT App 124 (Christiansen Forster, J.)
Civil/Civil Procedure
The Utah Court of Appeals held:
- The district court erred in considering extrinsic evidence to override the written contract’s integration clause.
- Practice tip: Extrinsic evidence is appropriately considered in the face of a clear integration clause where the contract is alleged to be a forgery, a joke, a sham, lacking in consideration, or where a contract is void for fraud, duress, mistake, or illegality.
