Utah Code Ann. § 78B-2-307

Section 78B-2-307(8) gives a plaintiff four years to file a legal malpractice claim after it arises.

Jensen v. Young · filed 2010-11-23(8)

The limitations period for a legal malpractice claim is four years. See Utah Code Ann. § 78B-2-307(8) (2008). Applying the four-year statute of limitations to the dates on which Dr. Jensen's legal malpractice claims arose reveals that Dr. Jensen's malpractice claims against Mr. Young expired on September 5, 2000, for damages arising from the first broadcast and on June 17, 2001 for damages arising from the second broadcast.

Section 78B-2-307(3) provides a four-year limitations period for legal malpractice claims when no more specific period applies.

Moshier v. Fisher · filed 2018-06-07(3)

“The limitations period for a legal malpractice claim is four years.” Jensen v. Young, 2010 UT 67, ¶ 15, 245 P.3d 731; see also Utah Code Ann. § 78B-2-307(3) (LexisNexis Supp. 2017) (imposing a catch-all, four-year limitations period where a more specific period does not apply). ... Therefore, the district court’s decision that “the substance of [the Moshiers’] contract claim is [Fisher’s] professional negligence” was not error, and the court correctly applied the four-year statute of limitations.

Section 78B-2-307(3) sets a four-year limitations period for legal malpractice and breach of fiduciary duty claims.

Bistline v. Parker · filed 2019-03-14(3)

Section 78B-2-307(3) sets a four-year limitations period for breach-of-fiduciary-duty claims.

Jenkins v. Prime Insurance Co. · filed 2023-07-31(3)

Finally, to the extent the statute of limitations should be based on Utah law, the statute of limitations for a breach of fiduciary duty claim is four years. Utah Code Ann. §78B-2-307(3); Russell Packard Dev., Inc. v. Carson, 2005 UT 14, ¶ 13, 108 P.3d 741, 744. Accordingly, even under Utah law, the statute of limitations expired long before Plaintiffs filed their March 2020 complaint, and thus the claim is still time-barred.

Section 78B-2-307(3) provides a four-year limitations period for trust claims when no other period is provided by law.

Bowen v. Bowen · filed 2011-10-14(3)

We note that this broad statement is both inconsistent with the trial court's subsequent application of the discovery rule to toll the statute of limitations and incorrect in light of our determination that the catch-all statute of limitations applies to this case. See generally Utah Code Ann. § 78B-2-307(3) (2008) (providing a four-year limitations period "for relief not otherwise provided for by law").

Section 78B-2-307(3) gives constructive trust claims a four-year limitations period when no specific limit is otherwise provided by law.

Pero v. Knowlden · filed 2014-09-18(3)

Section 78B-2-307(3) sets a four-year limitations period for a negligence claim arising from an automobile accident.

Norton v. Hess · filed 2016-05-19(3)

Norton’s appeal is entirely governed by the applicable statute of limitations and the savings statute. See Utah Code Ann. §§ 78B-2-307(3), 78B-2-111 (LexisNexis 2012). The statute of limitations for Norton’s negligence claim is four years.

Section 78B-2-307(3) sets a four-year limitations period for claims for relief not otherwise provided for by law.

Maryland Casualty Co. v. Mid-Continent Casualty Co. · filed 2018-03-20(3)

Moreover, the law is settled: claims “founded upon an instrument in writing” are subject to Utah’s six-year statute of limitations, Utah Code Ann. § 78B-2-309(2), while claims “for relief not otherwise provided for by law,” Utah Code Ann. § 78B-2-307(3), are subject to a four-year statute of limitations, or Utah’s catchall statute of limitations.

Section 78B-2-307(3) gives four years to bring negligence and breach of fiduciary duty claims; the period begins when the plaintiff first suffers actionable loss, even if consequential damages arise later.

Nat'l Title Agency LLC v. JPMorgan Chase Bank NA · filed 2018-07-27(3)

In sum, the statutes of limitations started to run in 2010 when Plaintiffs sustained the loss of the escrowed funds for which they were responsible—not in 2013 when aspects of their claimed special or consequential damages at last came to fruition. Plaintiffs brought this suit on March 15, 2016, almost six years after the escrowed funds entrusted to them were improperly released from the Trust Account. Because their breach of contract claim is subject to a two-year contractual limitations provision and their breach of fiduciary duty and negligence claims are subject to the general four-year statute of limitations, Plaintiffs’ claims are time-barred.

Section 78B-2-307(3) sets a four-year limitations period for tortious interference and civil conspiracy claims.

Shayesteh v. Hoye · filed 2020-10-26(3)

Utah has a limitation period of four years. Utah Code Ann. § 78B-2-307(3). Accordingly, since the claims that arose in Nevada or Iowa would be barred (but not Utah), the Court finds that the first permissive extension factor weighs at least partly in Plaintiff’s favor.

Section 78B-2-307(3) provides a four-year limitations period for personal-injury claims, which applies to Bivens claims arising in Utah.

Mullins v. Stokes · filed 2022-02-04(3)

For cases initiated in Utah, § 1983 claims are subject to "the four-year statute of limitation period of [Utah Code Ann. § 78B-2-307 (2023)]." Larson v. Snow College, 189 F. Supp. 2d 1286, 1292 (D. Utah 2000); see also Fratus v. Deland, 49 F.3d 673, 675 (10th Cir. 1995) ("Utah's four-year residual statute of limitations . . . governs suits brought under [§] 1983.").

Thus, the four-year, catch-all statute of limitations under Utah Code § 78B-2-307 has not run.

Section 78B-2-307 provides a four-year catch-all limitations period that applies to equitable actions.

Peterson v. Tennant Metals · filed 2023-09-28

However, even assuming that the district court erred in this regard, these equitable claims allegedly arose due to Defendants’ non-payment in late 2012 and would therefore have been barred by the four-year catch-all statute of limitations, see Utah Code § 78B-2-307, which applies to equitable ... actions, see American Tierra Corp. v. City of West Jordan, 840 P.2d 757, 761 (Utah 1992) (applying the catch-all statute of limitations to an equitable action after relying on both the “principle that actions in equity frequently are governed by a state’s catch-all limitation statute” and “the Utah precedents that have applied our four-year catch-all statute to equitable actions”).

Section 78B-2-307(1)(a) sets a four-year limitations period for unpaid-wage claims against a state entity.

Cooperstein v. University of Utah · filed 2025-09-22(1)(a)

Under Utah law, the statute of limitations for a claim of unpaid wages from a state entity, such as the University, is four years. Utah Code § 78B-2-307(1)(a).

Even the shorter period, though, would not have commenced until the last payment was received from Hood in April 2006, Utah Code Ann. § 78B-2-307(l)(a), which was less than four years before she filed her Chapter 7 case and less than four years before AMEX Centurion filed its proof of claim in September 2009.

Section 78B-2-307(3) sets a four-year limit for a tort claim; absent concealment or misleading conduct, equitable tolling requires exceptional circumstances.

Falkenrath v. Candela Corporation · filed 2016-04-14(3)

Because Falkenrath conceded that Candela did not engage in any misleading conduct or fraudulent behavior, the inherently narrow scope of exceptions to statutes of limitations requires Falkenrath to demonstrate that the instant case involved exceptional circumstances to invoke equitable tolling in her favor.

Because CounselNow’s tortious interference claim is subject to the same four-year statute of limitations as its negligent misrepresentation claim, see Utah Code Ann. § 78B-2-307(3), and since that statute contains no statutory discovery rule, CounselNow must rely on the equitable discovery rule.

Section 78B-2-307(1) sets a four-year limitations period for oral contract claims.

Scholzen v. Scholzen Products Company · filed 2020-12-22(1)

Therefore, this order will only limit the contract claims to those arising after March 2, 2016.

Section 78B-2-307(1)(a) sets a four-year limitations period for actions on oral agreements.

Goldenwest Federal Credit Union v. Kenworthy · filed 2017-10-13(1)(a)

An oral-contract claim filed within four years of the last charge or payment cannot be dismissed in its entirety as untimely merely because the arrangement is not an open account.

Fehr v. Stockton · filed 2018-07-06(1)(a)

But the question of whether the statute bars Fehr's claim does not, as the court determined, turn on whether Fehr's method of accounting for services performed and payments received under the contract is properly characterized as an "open account." Rather, the pertinent question is whether Fehr brought this action within four years of Fehr's last charge or receipt of the last payment.

Section 78B-2-307(3)’s four-year limitation period applies only to civil actions, not administrative proceedings.

Morgan v. Department of Commerce · filed 2017-12-07(3)

Accordingly, because section 78B-2-307(3) applies only to civil actions, and because Rogers previously decided that civil statutes of limitations—and ... section 78B-2-307(3) in particular—do not apply to administrative proceedings, section 78B-2-307(3) does not apply in this case.
