Utah Rules of Business and Chancery Court Procedure – Comment Period Closes November 9, 2026

URBCP Appendix A. Applicability of Utah Rules of Civil Procedure. AMEND. The proposed amendment corrects an erroneous reference to URCP Rule 7A in the list of rules that do not apply in the Business and Chancery Court, replacing it with URCP Rule 7B, which governs domestic relations proceedings outside the subject-matter jurisdiction of the Business and Chancery Court.

URBCP016. Pretrial conferences and parties’ planning conferences. AMEND. The proposed amendment to paragraph (a) changes the deadline for the initial pretrial conference from no later than 28 days after all parties have appeared to no later than 28 days after the first responsive pleading is filed.

URBCP038. Jury trial of right. AMEND. The proposed amendments correct the statutory cross-reference governing the county in which a jury trial should be held and clarify the procedure when no motion to strike a jury demand is filed by requiring the party who demanded the jury to file a request to submit, rather than a notice, informing the court that the demand is unopposed.
