1Opinion of the CourtDupont, C. J.
The plaintiff former chief of police of the defendant city of Hartford (city) appeals from the judgment of the trial court, Berger, J., enforcing a settlement agreement signed by the plaintiff and corporation counsel for the city. The plaintiff claims that the settlement agreement is unenforceable because (1) it required the subsequent approval of the city’s pension committee, (2) the corporation counsel lacked authority to settle on behalf of the city and (3) the plaintiff signed the agreement under duress. We affirm the judgment of the trial court.
