Robertson v. Alling

Arizona Supreme Court
351 P.3d 352 (2015)

SC

Facts

The Robertson Group (plaintiff) sued the Alling Group (defendant). Alling, with the help of its attorney, Mark Sifferman, made a settlement offer to Robertson. Alling then left it to Sifferman to finalize the details. Robertson asked Sifferman to extend the January 31 deadline to accept the offer, but Sifferman did not, and the offer expired. On February 4, Alling emailed Sifferman stating that it was no longer in favor of the terms of the previous settlement offer. Sifferman never saw the email, and on February 6, extended Robertson’s deadline to accept the original settlement offer. On February 8, Robertson accepted the settlement offer. After Sifferman learned that he did not have the actual authority to revive the first settlement offer, he made another settlement offer with different terms. Robertson filed a motion to enforce the February 8 settlement. The trial court granted the motion. The court of appeals reversed. Robertson appealed.
