A Utah Motion to Postpone is a legal document filed in Utah state court that requests a delay in a trial or hearing. It can be used to give a party more time to prepare a defense, or to seek a settlement before a trial takes place. There are two types of Utah Motion to Postpone: a motion to continue a trial or hearing, or a motion to stay a trial or hearing. A motion to continue is when the court sets a new date for the trial or hearing, while a motion to stay is when the court postpones a trial or hearing until a later date. Both motions require the filing of a formal written motion, usually accompanied by a brief outlining the reason for the request.
