Utah Supreme Court

Stephen A. Giusti, Plaintiff, Appellant, and Cross-Appellee v. Sterling Wentworth Corporation, a Utah Corporation…

January 16, 2009621 Utah Adv. Rep. 11

Summary

The court held that Giusti's appeal was timely because the appeal period began when the required separate judgment was entered, not when the earlier final order was issued. It affirmed summary judgment for SWC on Giusti's contract, fraudulent inducement, and tortious interference claims, concluding that his employment was at will, that he failed to show recoverable fraud damages, and that the individual defendants acted within the scope of their employment. The court also affirmed the denial of attorney fees and the limitation of recoverable costs. No separate opinions were issued.
