Baker Sterchi Obtains Appellate Victory for Insurer
Baker Sterchi obtained an appellate victory in the Missouri Court of Appeals for the Southern District, enforcing plaintiffs’ agreement to settle after they had refused to sign settlement papers. Baker Sterchi successfully argued that plaintiffs’ counsel had actual or apparent authority to settle the plaintiffs’ claims, which arose with respect to a mortgage foreclosure. The opinion of the Southern District is reported at 436 S.W.3d 700. The Missouri Supreme Court declined transfer.
