The applicant, a party under disability who sustained catastrophic impairments after being struck by a motor vehicle, sought court approval of a $373,000 full and final settlement of his Statutory Accident Benefits claim.
The court reviewed the proposed settlement and the plaintiff's solicitor's fee agreement.
The court found that the settlement was in the applicant's best interests and that the fee agreement, which was based on a fee-for-service model rather than a contingency fee, was fair and reasonable.
The settlement and the proposed legal fees were approved.
