Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Utah

My sister recently gave me a gift, which i later pawned in a pawn shop. When she found out about it, she claimed she never gave it to me and that i took it without permission. Can she sue me in court?

She can, but if what you say is true then you should win. She will tell a different story in court. If the judge or jury believes her story, then you will probably lose.

If there is enough at stake, you should consult with a lawyer right away. Even if it's just a small claims case, a brief consultation may improve your chances immensely.

Good luck.
