Mr Tewoldeberhan wasn’t happy with the way he settled his case. So he sued his lawyers, a leading labour law firm, and failed. Nothing very interesting about the case, except its addition to a very long list of failed regretted settlement suits. Tewolderberhan v MBC [2007] VCAT 1239. I have written extensively about regretted settlement suits: “Compromise of Litigation and Lawyers’ Liability” (2002) 10 Torts Law Journal 167.
