Summary

The Utah Supreme Court affirmed directed verdicts rejecting Daines's claims arising from an alleged oral promise of ownership shares in a surgical center. It held that the signed Release was an integrated and unambiguous agreement that released ASC from all claims connected to the center's organization, development, and operation, including the alleged promise of shares. The court also affirmed the fraud and individual-liability rulings, exclusion of the Lipscomb order, rejection of Daines's day-in-court argument, and award of costs.
