AMERICAN SOCIETY OF LUBRICATION ENGINEERS, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. James ROETHELI and Lennora Roetheli, Defendants-Appellants.

Appellate Court of Illinois, First District, Fourth Division.

April 29, 1993.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Kralovec, Marquard, Doyle & Gibbons, Chartered Chicago (Sean J. Hardy and Nancy J. Arnold, of counsel), for plaintiff-appellee.

Parrillo, Weiss & O'Halloran, Chicago (Maureen T. Murphy and Keely Truax, of counsel), for defendants-appellants.


Justice CAHILL delivered the opinion of the court:

We are asked here to decide whether or not a court retains jurisdiction and the power to sanction an attorney who agrees at a pre-trial conference to a settlement whose terms are incorporated in an agreed dismissal order and who then withholds payment for seven months. We affirm the decision of the trial court and hold that the court may award attorney fees in such a case under Supreme Court Rules 218 and 219.
