Re: Jefferson County v. Mazda, et al
Jefferson County No. 8441
Dear Mr. Daly:
We have just been contacted by the attorneys representing
plaintiff Grim and they have offered to withdraw their appeal
on Grim vs. Jefferson County provided that we in turn dismiss
our champerty action in its entirety.
As you know, the Grim vs. Jefferson County action involved
rather severe injuries to Robin Grim and the complaint was sub-
stantially in excess of the limits of liability insurance of the
County. While we feel confident that the jury verdict would not
be disturbed on appeal, we would, nevertheless, recommend accepting
the above proposal.
In order to take this action, however, I feel that a resolution
of the County Commissioners would be necessary. If the Commissioners
are agreeable to proceeding as outlined herein, would you please
prepare the necessary resolution and advise us as to whether and
when we may enter a stipulation and order of dismissal as regards
this ca se .
