The plaintiff brought a motion in writing under Rule 7.08 of the Rules of Civil Procedure for approval of a proposed settlement on behalf of a minor injured in a motor vehicle accident.
The court found the evidentiary record insufficient to determine whether the settlement was in the minor's best interest, noting missing information regarding liability, the minor's medical prognosis, the breakdown of the settlement amount, and legal fees.
The court directed the moving party to provide additional materials within 60 days and ordered the materials to be served on the Children's Lawyer for a report and recommendations.
