Lampe v. O'TOOLE
Appellate Court of Illinois

1Opinion of the CourtJustice Colwell
Plaintiffs, John and Becky Lampe, sued defendants, Joan O’Toole and Sinnett Excavating, Inc. (Sinnett), for personal injuries. O’Toole moved to dismiss (see 735 ILCS 5/2 — 619(a)(9) (West 1996)), alleging that plaintiffs had orally settled their claim against her. The trial court granted the motion and plaintiffs appeal (see 155 Ill. 2d R. 304(a)), arguing that the dismissal was erroneous because plaintiffs and O’Toole never reached a binding settlement agreement. We disagree and affirm. We hold the agreement met the requisites for a valid contract and was enforceable.
