Elisa Prezzano writes on a recent Court of Appeal decision involving a family who sought to overturn a personal injury settlement, arguing that it was improvident and alleging that the plaintiff was under disability at the time of the settlement agreement, thereby rendering it unconscionable. This decision highlights the high bar for setting aside the settlement agreement based on incapacity. #lawblog #insurancelaw #capacity #settlement #ontariolaw #ontarioinsurance

Whereas the predominant practice has been to permit insertion of terms in Court Orders regarding loss of earnings for RBA purposes when ruling personal injury settlements, Twomey J. has refused to do so in context of a Circuit appeal ‘all-in’ settlement, inviting Bus Eireann (publicly funded entity) to appeal such refusal and directing a copy of judgment be furnished to Minister for Social Protection (whose interests in such insertion of terms are not represented) indicating his view that neither plaintiffs nor defendant insurers will generally likely appeal any such refusal where not in their financial interest to do so, citing public interest reasons for clarification that any such appeal would bring where currently the decision to rule RBA consent settlements is arbitrary and judge dependent #personalinjuries #RBA #lossofearnings
Barrister-at-Law at The Bar of Ireland • Author of Summary Summons Practice and Procedure (Thomson Reuters Round Hall)
The Court seeking clarification on contradictory High Court jurisprudence - Whether “personal injuries settlement orders” - limiting RBA exposure to Defendants - are legally sound. Twoney J "rejects the application by Bus Eireann to insert terms in the court order striking out these proceedings, since those terms are designed to financially prejudice the Department. It does so because terms, such as these, are intended to deprive the taxpayer of a repayment from a defendant/insurer of recoverable benefits. In this way the taxpayer ends up benefiting the insurer and so funding the payment of a settlement sum to a plaintiff in a personal injuries action." Moloney -v- Dunne & Anor [2024] IEHC 84
