1. Claims by or on behalf of infants and other persons under a disability require approval by the Court under Order 80 rules 10/11. It should not be assumed by counsel and solicitors for the parties that the Court will "rubber stamp" settlement simply because counsel has recommended acceptance of the offer put forward. It is necessary for the parties, and both if called upon, to explain how the proposed settlement is arrived at and why the Court should approve it.
