This motion concerned the approval of a settlement for the minor plaintiff's Family Law Act claim, arising from a vehicle collision.
The court initially sought additional evidence regarding the minor's claim for loss of care, guidance, and companionship, as the proposed $40,000 settlement was solely for the mother.
Supplementary evidence confirmed the minor's life remained undisturbed and he required no treatment despite his mother's 51-day hospitalization.
The court was satisfied the settlement was in the minor's best interests and complied with Rule 7.08, granting the approval.
