Who settled what, when?

Complex settlement agreements often require a series of actions to resolve both the parties’ business affairs and ongoing litigation. In Ticer v. Reed Migraine Centers, the parties’ agreement grew so detailed that the Fifth Court found it ambiguous and reversed a summary judgment. One side argued that the parties’ releases were effective on signing; the other side, that the releases were only effective upon the making the required payments. “[U]nable to harmonize the foregoing provisions to give effect to all the provisions in the Agreement,” the Court remanded. No. 05-17-00721-CV (Dec. 4, 2018) (mem. op.)
