- Title
COMMERCIAL--CONFIRMATION OF AWARD--SUBJECT-MATTER JURISDICTION--CONCURRENT JURISDICTION--UTAH.
- Abstract
The article presents information on the decision made in the case, Transworld Systems Inc. v. Robison, 796 P.2d 407. Transworld Systems filed a complaint in the state circuit court alleging that Brent Robison refused to pay an award entered pursuant to an arbitration agreement. Robison, in his answer, denied that the court had jurisdiction to enter judgment on the award. The appellate court found that the word "court," used in the context of jurisdiction to confirm arbitration awards, is defined under the Utah arbitration statute to mean "any state district court in Utah." In addition, the court disagreed with Transworld's argument that Robison had waived any defect in subject-matter jurisdiction, it ruled that subject-matter jurisdiction cannot be waived.
