This motion concerned the approval of a settlement for a minor applicant who sustained serious personal injuries from a dog bite.
The court reviewed the proposed settlement amount of $55,000 and the applicant's legal fees, which were reduced from a 30% to a 20% contingency fee.
The court found the settlement to be fair and reasonable and in the minor applicant's best interests, the legal fees to be reasonable, and confirmed that all requirements of Rule 7.08 of the Rules of Civil Procedure had been met, including the minor applicant's consent.
