Terms Used In Utah Code 59-5-111

  • Affirmed: In the practice of the appellate courts, the decree or order is declared valid and will stand as rendered in the lower court.
  • Appeal: A request made after a trial, asking another court (usually the court of appeals) to decide whether the trial was conducted properly. To make such a request is "to appeal" or "to take an appeal." One who appeals is called the appellant.
  • Precedent: A court decision in an earlier case with facts and law similar to a dispute currently before a court. Precedent will ordinarily govern the decision of a later similar case, unless a party can show that it was wrongly decided or that it differed in some significant way.
(2) 

(a)  If the party appealing executes an undertaking meeting the requirements of Subsection (2)(b), the party is not required to pay the taxes, interest, and other charges as a condition precedent to obtaining judicial review.

(b)  The taxpayer shall file an undertaking with the commission in the amount and with the surety approved by the commission.

(c)  The undertaking shall provide that, if the appeal is dismissed or the decision of the commission is affirmed, the party appealing will pay all costs and charges that may accrue against the party in the prosecution of the case.

(d)  At the option of the party appealing, the undertaking may be in a sum sufficient to cover the taxes, interest, and other charges, audited or stated in the decision, plus the costs or charges that may accrue against the party appealing in the prosecution of the case.
