Terms Used In Utah Code 78B-8-502

  • Litigation: A case, controversy, or lawsuit. Participants (plaintiffs and defendants) in lawsuits are called litigants.
     The Legislature finds that small businesses may be deterred from seeking review of or defending against substantially unjustified governmental action because of the expense involved in securing the vindication of their rights. The purpose of this part is to entitle small businesses, under conditions set forth in this act, to recover reasonable litigation expenses.
