Section 171.122 - Approval of settlements

Approval of a compromise, settlement, or discontinuance involving fiduciaries, minors, or incompetent parties by the Administrator or the arbitration panel shall relieve the parties of obtaining approval by an appropriate court where approval is required by Pa.R.C.P. In those actions in which Pa.R.C.P. requires court appointment of a guardian or other fiduciary in order to effect a compromise, settlement, or discontinuance, such appointment shall be obtained from the local court of common pleas prior to seeking approval of the compromise, settlement or discontinuance from the Administrator or the arbitration panel.
