Civil Procedure - Admissibility of Settlement Agreements - 42 Pa Cons Stat Ann § 6141 - "Mary Carter" Agreements

Authors

Barbara S.C. Campbell

Abstract

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has held where an agreement clearly allies two or more parties against another, such that a clear potential exists which would not otherwise be apparent to the factfinder, that part of the agreement, or at least the existence of the reason for the potential bias, must be conveyed to the factfinder.
