- Title
CONSTRUCTION--ARBITRABILITY--CONSTITUTIONALITY--U.C.A. 78-31-1 et seq--UTAH.
- Abstract
The article presents information about a court case in Utah, in which it was held that the state's Arbitration Act is constitutional, and, under its terms, parties who contractually agree to arbitrate will be bound to do so. Lindon City, Utah and Engineers Construction Co., entered into a construction contract, prepared in its entirety by the city, that contained an arbitration clause. Two disputes arose concerning payments under the contract, and Engineers demanded arbitration. The city resisted and sought a declaratory judgment in its favor. The trial court denied the motion and the city appealed. The supreme court held that the disputes in question were arbitrable and that arbitration, pursuant to their contractual agreement, was a condition precedent to judicial relief.
