Agreement on Dollar Amount Alone Not Enough for Binding Malpractice Settlement
Lawrence v. Hutchinson, ___ P.3d ___, 2009 WL 260621 (Idaho App. 2009)
Brief Summary
A legal malpractice settlement agreement was not enforceable because the parties only agreed to one material term, the dollar amount, and did not exhibit sufficient intent to be bound by this agreement.
