Summary
reversing a final order granting defendant's motion to enforce oral settlement agreement
Summary of this case from Orchid Island Prop. v. W.G. MillsOpinion
No. 93-1117.
March 2, 1994.
Appeal from the Circuit Court, for Palm Beach County; John D. Wessel, Judge.
Charles Wender, Smith, Smith Wender, P.A., Boca Raton, for appellant.
Mark B. Kleinfeld, Jones, Foster, Johnston Stubbs, P.A., West Palm Beach, for appellee.
We reverse a final order granting defendant's motion to enforce an oral settlement agreement.
It is clear from our examination of the record that the terms of a letter to be written by Appellee were an essential element of the settlement discussion. The record does not support a conclusion that Appellant's attorney agreed to the terms imposed.
The attorney's authority to settle is not disputed.
GUNTHER and STONE, JJ., and RAMIREZ, JUAN, Jr., Associate Judge, concur.
