The Utah Court of Appeals in the Dementas V

The Utah Court of Appeals in the Dementas v.Estate of Tallas case found:

A) the trial court correctly determined that there was no consideration to support Tallas's promise.
B) Utah applies the "moral obligation" exception to the requirement of consideration, and therefore Tallas's promise was supported by consideration.
C) because Utah does not recognize the "moral obligation" exception to the requirement of consideration, Dementas prevails.
D) the trial court's finding that the services rendered by Dementas to Tallas were performed gratuitously was erroneous.
