Supreme Court of North Carolina May 4, 1989, 311PA88 (Pollard v. Smith)

WEBB, Justice.

The Department makes two assignments of error. It says first that it was error for the superior court to order the disbursal of the proceeds from the settlement without notice to the Department. In its second assignment of error the Department contends the court erred in ordering the entire amount of the settlement to be given to the plaintiff.
