Gonzalez v. Dept. of Labor
Gonzalez v....(U.S. D.C. Cir., Administrative Law, Government Law, Injury And Tort Law, Labor & Employment Law) In an action challenging the Department of Labor’s decision that plaintiff was required to pay the Department a share of the proceeds from a personal injury action, summary judgment for defendant is affirmed where: 1) the settlement agreement clearly showed that the parties’ mutual intent was to have both spouses release their respective claims against defendants; 2) it was for Labor to determine how much of plaintiffs’ settlement proceeds should be allocated to plaintiff’s loss of consortium claim; and 3) plaintiffs offered insufficient evidence to substantiate their claim for costs.
