In Re Allstate Insurance Co.green2 sentences2015Co., 232 S.W.3d at 344 (internal citations omitted). 30 Just as in Skeen and In re Allstate, supra, AAA made an offer of settlement on a disputed contract claim to Jackson. [MR 1; 4-5.] Furthermore, Jackson has made it abundantly clear that he intends to make the offer of settlement by AAA the focal point and key piece of evidence for purposes of proving up his breach of contract claim as described in his response to AAA’s motion to sever and abate [MR 131], and to prove up his purported extra-contractual claims [Id.]. 2015Citing to the Supreme Court's opinion ín Akin, this Court also recognized that a "trial court has broad discretion to sever a lawsuit into separate suits" and is only required to do so "when there is a settlement offer on the disputed contract claim." See id. (emphasis added). | 1 | 2 |
