The plaintiffs brought a motion seeking approval of an infant settlement in a motor vehicle accident case.
The requested relief included dispensing with service of supporting affidavits, approval of a contingency fee retainer agreement (CFRA) for the infant plaintiffs, and approval of the settlement dismissing the infant claims without costs.
The court granted the order to dispense with service of affidavits and approved the infant settlement, finding it reasonable and in the infants' best interests.
However, the court declined to approve the CFRA, questioning its validity as it was entered into after the settlement had been reached.
The balance of the action was dismissed without costs.
