IBC Files Notice of Appeal to the Utah State Supreme Court
AMERICAN FORK, Utah, Oct. 20, 2019 /CNW/ -- IBC has filed a notice of appeal that it will request the Supreme Court of Utah to review a Utah State Court District Judge dismissal of a complaint that had been filed by IBC Advanced Technologies, Inc. ("IBC"), et al. against Ucore Rare Metals, Inc. ("Ucore"), et al. (the "Jurisdictional Ruling"). The Jurisdictional Ruling was based solely on jurisdictional grounds, not the merits of the case, and was made without prejudice – meaning IBC may refile the case in the future.
IBC believes it has very strong grounds for appeal of the Jurisdictional Ruling, based in part on a recent Utah Supreme Court ruling:
IBC is highly confident in the merits of its case. The Utah Fourth District Court recently ruled in IBC's favor and entered a temporary restraining order against Ucore Chief Operating Officer Michael L. Schrider, et al. ("Defendants"). The Court found, among other things, that "[t]here is a substantial likelihood that [IBC] will prevail on the merits of its underlying claims against Defendants." Please see link below:
