URJP018. Summons; service of process; notice. Amend. The approved amendments primarily aim to amend paragraph (d) to allow email notice of further proceedings without requiring a party’s prior consent, similar to Rule 5 of the Utah Rules of Civil Procedure. Several other amendments were approved to improve clarity, including more specific cross-references to other bodies of rules. The revisions also include the merging of paragraphs (f) and (g) to clarify that papers not requiring summons must be served according to Rule 5 of the Utah Rules of Civil Procedure, and that eFiling through the C.A.R.E. system does not constitute service.
