Supreme Court of Louisiana.

LORRE L. LOWE AND RODNEY C. LOWE, INDIVIDUALLY AND O/B/O LORRE L. LOWE v. LEON LOWE & SONS, INC., LEON LOWE & SONS PARTNERSHIP, LOWE BROS., L.L.C., AND TOBY J. LOWE IN RE: DISSOLUTION OF OAK ISLAND CORPORATION

No. 2024-OC-01399, No. 2024-OC-01400

Decided: February 05, 2025

There is no settlement to enforce. A settlement has to be in writing or in open court on the record. La. C.C. art. 3072. Best practice in a mediation is to pull out a legal pad, write it down, and get the parties to sign it. An attorney cannot settle a client's claim absent written authority. La. C.C. art. 2997.

Hughes, J., concurs.
