Appellants argued that there was no sworn testimony to support the settlement and that the finding of a binding agreement was against the weight of the evidence due to a lack of attorney authority. The appellate court affirmed, holding that sworn testimony is not required to establish a settlement agreement when an attorney of record asserts authority, and that the appellants failed to overcome the presumption of their attorney's authority to settle.","primaryTopic":"civil-procedure","topicSlugs":["civil-procedure","contracts","appellate-procedure","evidence"],"outcomeNorm":"unknown","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=145197","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/39-bell-llc-v-kk-inc-et-al-d82281","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"corporate","label":"Corporate Law","href":"/practice-areas/corporate","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: contracts"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/corporate"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: civil-procedure","topic: evidence","topic: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
