What happened
The Charter Oak Fire Insurance Company v. State National Insurance Company involved a letter from State National informing the court that the parties had reached a settlement in principle.
The court ordered the action discontinued without costs to either party. The order allowed either party to ask to restore the case to the court’s calendar if the parties could not put their settlement in writing, but the request had to be made by March 21, 2024.
Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil stated that if no restoration request was made by that date, the dismissal would be with prejudice, meaning the action could not be reopened through that procedure.
