escrow agents
23 July 2015
In the last seven days, the Utah supreme Court holds escrow agents owe fiduciary duties to third party beneficiaries; that title companies are liable in many instances when escrow agents improperly disburse funds; that district court judges can serve as both magistrates and judges in the same case; that Utah’s civil case arbitration statute provides the sole means to rescind the decision to arbitrate, but, does not apply to claims that can be brought as a different suit; that post-conviction relief statutes apply to all proceedings before a trail court not just formal trial claims; affirmed discovery sanction default judgment; and reminds lawyers that stealing client funds will result in disbarment.
