Minor's Compromise

Tentative Ruling

Appearances are required, including the minor. (CRC 7.952.)

The following must be submitted before petition may be approved:

Adequate documentation that the minor has fully recovered or is expected to fully recover from his injuries. The attachments supporting the allegation at paragraph 9 of the petition do not support a finding that the minor will fully recover.

New proposal for structured settlement, or further briefing. The proposal includes a payout date far past the minor’s 18th birthday. It is the policy of this court to place funds in a blocked account. (Local Rule 1735 “Absent a showing of good cause, it is the policy of the Court to order all funds disbursed to a minor be deposited into a blocked account.”)
