California Court of Appeal November 2, 1995, No. B091868 (Pompilio v. Kosmo, Cho & Brown)

Opinion

GILBERT, J.

During arbitration proceedings, plaintiffs and defendants settle their lawsuit. Plaintiffs then renege. At a second arbitration hearing the arbitrator finds the settlement to be valid. Three years later, defendants obtain a judgment confirming the arbitration award which upheld the settlement. Plaintiffs sue the attorneys who negotiated the settlement.
