Utah's New REPC Section 17.  ATTORNEY FEES AND COSTS / GOVERNING LAW.

This updated section clarifies that Utah law governs the contract.

Old REPC

17. ATTORNEY FEES AND COSTS. In the event of litigation or binding arbitration to enforce this Contract, the prevailing party shall be entitled to costs and reasonable attorney fees. However, attorney fees shall not be awarded for participation in mediation under Section 15.

New REPC
Section 17.

17. ATTORNEY FEES AND COSTS/GOVERNING LAW. In the event of litigation or binding arbitration to enforce the REPC, the prevailing party shall be entitled to costs and reasonable attorney fees. However, attorney fees shall not be awarded for participation in mediation under Section 15. This contract shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Utah. The provisions of this Section 17 shall survive Closing.

 

I’m remarking on the new REPC changes as I see them. This isn't legal advice.
