The Public Guardian and Trustee (PGT), as litigation guardian for the plaintiff, Ki Ho Kim, brought a motion for court approval of a $25,000 settlement in a slip and fall action.
Kim opposed the settlement and sought to set aside a prior order appointing the PGT as his litigation guardian, arguing he was no longer under disability.
The court reviewed multiple capacity assessments, all confirming Kim's mental incapacity.
The court dismissed Kim's motion, affirming his status as a party under disability and the PGT's authority.
The court then approved the proposed settlement, finding it fair, reasonable, and in Kim's best interests, and ordered the distribution of funds.
