Enforceability of Post-Cause of Action, Pre-Settlement Proceeds Division Agreement Without Trial Court Approval
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAThe reviewing court addressed whether a contractual agreement regarding the division of proceeds from a potential legal recovery, entered into after the initial cause of action but before a settlement was finalized, was enforceable despite not being specifically approved by the trial court that oversaw the underlying litigation. The court reasoned that the agreement, which transferred a portion of the prospective recovery to a third party, was a valid assignment of a cause of action enforceable between the contracting parties, and the trial court's failure to formally approve the assignment did not invalidate the agreement or preclude the assignee from enforcing their rights under the contract, especially since the assignment did not prejudice the adverse party in the main suit.
