This motion sought approval of a settlement for a minor plaintiff who sustained a complex elbow fracture in a schoolyard slip and fall.
The defendants denied liability, raising issues of causation and damages.
The court approved the settlement of $32,133.90, finding it reasonable, fair, and in the minor plaintiff's best interests, consistent with Rule 7.08 of the Rules of Civil Procedure.
The decision also approved counsel's fees and disbursements, noting a reduction in the contingency fee and a negotiated reduction of OHIP's subrogated claim.
