The applicant sought Rule 7 approval of a proposed settlement of $6,500 for a minor's accident benefits claim arising from a motor vehicle accident.
The court refused to approve the settlement due to counsel's failure to provide accurate information regarding an outstanding rehabilitation account and the litigation guardian's failure to remit insurance funds received to the rehabilitation centre.
The court ordered the minor's father to pay the received funds to the rehabilitation centre and directed counsel to provide further information regarding the unpaid balance.
