Following a civil trial, the court issued an amended judgment after it was brought to its attention that the claim against one defendant had previously been settled without costs at a pre‑trial conference.
Counsel had failed to advise the court of the settlement before judgment was rendered.
As a result, portions of the earlier decision that addressed findings relating to that defendant were vacated and set aside.
The amendment corrected the judgment to reflect that the settled defendant should not have been included in those findings.
