Description

This is a multi-state form covering the subject matter of the title. A South Dakota Motion to Accept the Report of Special Master for a Settlement Conference and Payment and Disbursement of Fees is a legal document filed in a court case to request the court's approval for a report prepared by a special master regarding a settlement conference and the payment and disbursement of fees related to the case. This motion is typically filed when parties in a lawsuit have engaged in settlement negotiations facilitated by a special master (an impartial third party appointed by the court to assist in resolving the dispute). The report prepared by the special master contains detailed information about the settlement conference, including the parties present, discussions made, agreements reached, and any recommendations provided by the special master. The motion seeks the court's acceptance of this report as a formal record of the settlement conference, which can then be used as a basis for further proceedings in the case. In addition to accepting the report, this motion typically includes a request for the court to approve and order the payment of fees to the special master for their services. The fees may cover the time spent conducting the settlement conference, reviewing relevant documents, and providing recommendations. The disbursement of these fees is often also addressed in the motion, specifying the parties responsible for covering the costs. Different types of South Dakota Motions to Accept the Report of Special Master for a Settlement Conference and Payment and Disbursement of Fees may include: 1. Motion to Accept the Preliminary Report of Special Master: If the settlement conference is conducted in multiple stages, this motion may be filed to request the court's acceptance of a preliminary report prepared by the special master before the final settlement agreement is reached. 2. Motion to Accept Supplemental Report of Special Master: In some cases, new developments may arise after the initial report is submitted. This motion can be filed to present additional information and seek the court's acceptance of a supplemental report provided by the special master, containing updated recommendations or findings. 3. Motion for Payment and Disbursement of Fees to Special Master: This motion focuses solely on the financial aspect, seeking the court's approval for the payment and disbursement of fees to the special master without the need for accepting a report. It may be filed when a settlement conference has not occurred or is not yet resolved, but the special master has provided other valuable services or expertise to aid in the case. It is important to consult the specific rules and requirements of South Dakota courts when drafting and filing a Motion to Accept the Report of Special Master for a Settlement Conference and Payment and Disbursement of Fees, as they may vary depending on the jurisdiction and nature of the case.
