This endorsement addresses a procedural issue in a motor vehicle accident action where a settlement could not be finalized due to the plaintiff in a companion action failing to provide their position regarding policy limits.
The plaintiff in the current action sought directions from the court.
The court declined to make immediate orders affecting the absent party but adjourned the case conference and directed the defendant to ensure the companion action's plaintiff attends the next conference, reserving the right to make procedural orders under Rule 50.13(6).
