Utah R. Bus. & Chancery Ct. P. 18
Joinder of claims and remedies
(a) Joinder of claims. The plaintiff, in the complaint or in a reply setting forth a counterclaim, and the defendant, in an answer setting forth a counterclaim, may join either as independent or as alternate claims as many claims either legal or equitable or both as the plaintiff or defendant may have against an opposing party, so long as the claim is a claim over which the court has jurisdiction. There may be a like joinder of claims when there are multiple parties if the requirements of Rules 19, 20, and 22 are satisfied. There may be a like joinder of cross-claims or third-party claims if the requirements of Rules 13 and 14 respectively are satisfied.
(b) Joinder of remedies; fraudulent conveyances. Whenever a claim is one cognizable only after another claim has been prosecuted to conclusion, the two claims may be joined in a single action; but the court will grant relief in that action only in accordance with the relative substantive rights of the parties. In particular, a plaintiff may state a claim for money and a claim to have set aside a conveyance fraudulent as to the plaintiff without first having obtained a judgment establishing the claim for money.
