K. Holder

The plaintiffs brought a motion for an order to continue the action, as the primary plaintiff was an undischarged bankrupt.

The defendants brought a motion to enforce a settlement agreement that had been accepted by the plaintiffs' former counsel.

The plaintiffs argued the settlement should not be enforced because the plaintiff had a 'change of heart' shortly after acceptance and had not calculated his net recovery.

The court granted the order to continue and enforced the settlement, finding that a valid agreement was reached and a mere change of heart did not justify exercising discretion to set it aside.

The plaintiffs requested an adjournment of the defendants' motion to enforce a settlement arising from a motor vehicle accident.

The plaintiffs' new counsel, retained shortly before the hearing, required time to finalize motion materials.

Despite the defendants' objection to the late request, the court granted a brief adjournment to prevent prejudice, ordering the plaintiffs to pay $500 in costs to the defendants.
