Ind. Courts - Court of Appeals to hear argument at Ivy Tech in Lafayette
The Carroll County Comet reports:
In an effort to bring the workings of the judicial system closer to the people it serves, the Indiana Court of Appeals will hear oral arguments in one of its cases at 10 a.m. on April 6 in the Ivy Hall NCHS Auditorium at Ivy Tech Community College in Lafayette. The case is In Re: The Matter of Transfer of Structured Settlement Payment of Roger Dunn. The public is invited to attend.A three-judge panel will hear an appeal of the trial court's denial of a request to approve the transfer of settlement payment rights. Roger Dunn received a settlement in a workers' compensation case, and subsequently sought to transfer a portion of his structured settlement payment rights from Travelers Indemnity Co. to Rapid Settlements Ltd. pursuant to the Indiana Structured Settlement Protection Act. Travelers Indemnity objected to the transfer on the basis that the act applies only to tort claims. Rapid Settlements appealed the trial court's decision.
The case will be argued by the appellant's attorney, Stanly Callesano, and the appellees' attorneys, Craig Ulman and Frederick Roetter.
