The plaintiffs brought a motion to approve a settlement on behalf of Sheila Clarke, a person under disability, arising from a slip and fall incident.
The motion was dismissed without prejudice due to numerous deficiencies in the supporting materials.
The court found issues with redactions without justification, absence of minutes of settlement, lack of medical information and assessment of damages, insufficient liability assessment, and deficient affidavits from both the lawyer and the litigation guardian.
Furthermore, the court noted a lack of detailed evidence regarding legal fees and disbursements, including a contingency fee agreement.
