The Respondent brought a motion for summary judgment to enforce an alleged settlement agreement reached during a settlement meeting.
The Applicant, who was self-represented at the meeting, denied a binding agreement was formed, asserting discussions were for settlement purposes only.
The court dismissed the Respondent's motion, finding no binding agreement due to a lack of consensus on essential terms, vagueness regarding equalization and spousal support, and the Applicant's lack of independent legal advice, which prevented informed consent.
