2017The Accountant also argues that the Buyers never alleged fraudulent nondisclosure as a cause of action and thus are not entitled to an instruction on that claim. ¶67 The district court rejected the Buyers’ proposed instruction on the ground that the court had already “effectively ... determined there was no duty” when it dismissed the Buyers’ negligent misrepresentation claim at summary judgment. ¶68 “Whether the trial court’s refusal to give a proposed jury instruction constitutes error is a question of law, which we review for correctness.” State v. Hamilton, 827 P.2d 232, 238 (Utah 1992).
