Terms Used In Utah Code 78B-6-1306

  • Damages: Money paid by defendants to successful plaintiffs in civil cases to compensate the plaintiffs for their injuries.
  • Plaintiff: The person who files the complaint in a civil lawsuit.
  • Property: includes both real and personal property. See Utah Code 68-3-12.5
  • Verdict: The decision of a petit jury or a judge.
