Galerie D'Tile, Inc. v. Shinn

OPINION

JUNELL, Justice.

This is an appeal from a judgment based on a compromise settlement announced and agreed to in open court. Appellants were plaintiffs who sought money damages under a petition alleging ten causes of action.

The principal issue is whether the statements made by the court immediately after the settlement agreement had been dictated constituted a rendition of judgment. If it did, appellant’s subsequent revocation of consent to the agreed judgment came too late. If it did not, the revocation of consent before the court signed the judgment made the signed judgment void.
