Richard E. Gardiner v. Nels Anderson

Paid petition · Supreme Court of Utah, No. 20220146 · judgment December 15, 2022


Certiorari denied · May 22, 2023
Pre-decision estimate: 4% cert probability

Before the decision, roughly the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for a circuit split argued in the petition, a petition filed soon after the judgment below, and counsel who has filed here before.

Question presented

Whether the Utah Supreme Court denied Petitioner his Fourteenth Amendment right to due process when it failed to reverse a decision of the Utah Court of Appeals awarding contractual attorney fees to Respondent based on a legal theory which Respondent did not argue, and thus waived, and which Petitioner therefore had no opportunity to address.
