Adams's Assignee v. Roller
Texas Supreme Court
Adams's Assignee v. Roller, 35 Tex. 711 (Tex. 1872)
Evans
Adams's Assignee v. Roller
Opinion of the Court
The only question we are called upon to notice, and which is decisive of the cause, is whether it is within the scope of the power of an attorney at law
It seems to be well settled that an attorney cannot compromise his client’s cause without his consent. (See 2 Tucker’s Com., p.—; Holker v. Parker, 7 Branch, 436.)
The judgment is reversed and the cause remanded.
Reversed and remanded.
