Motion for court approval of settlement of claims on behalf of three minor grandchildren of the deceased in a fatal pedestrian-vehicle collision case.
The plaintiffs sought approval for $10,000 to be paid to the Accountant of the Superior Court for each minor plaintiff, along with approval of a contingency fee retainer agreement and related relief.
The court adjourned the motion due to insufficient evidence regarding the quantum of the settlement, the basis for the settlement amount, and the treatment of legal fees and disbursements.
The court identified multiple procedural deficiencies in the motion record and provided detailed directions for resubmission.
