Neil Desai, M.D. v. Seneca Specialty Insurance Company

Summary

The Court held that the 2017 version of section 537.065 did not apply to a settlement contract executed before that amendment became effective, even though judgment was entered afterward. Because the amended statute's notice and intervention requirements applied only to contracts entered under the amended version, Seneca was not entitled to intervene or obtain relief from the judgment. The circuit court's judgment was affirmed.
