Trexler v. Billingsley

Summary

The Court held that the parties formed a binding settlement agreement for Billingsley’s $100,000 policy limits. Although Trexler’s April email did not extend the earlier demand because it conditioned acceptance on client approval, the May 18 email was an unconditional final offer that Billingsley accepted by confirming payment within the stated deadline. The Court therefore affirmed enforcement of the settlement and the dismissal with prejudice.
