1239 Judgment can not be entered on a written stipulation of settlement unless it is signed by all settling litigants; however, the signature of an insurance carrier's representative on a stipulation for settlement within policy limits may be accepted in place of the signature of the litigant represented by that carrier; even if the trial court does not enter judgment on it, a settlement agreement may be enforced by action for breach of contract.CitationROBERTSON v KOU-PIN CHEN (MSC Statement) 44 CA4 1290 [See: CCP 664.6; Levy v Superior Court 10 C4 578, T/AT 7/95; Johnson v Dept of Corrections 38 CA4 1700, T/AT 11/95; Murphy v Padilla 42 CA4 707, T/AT 3/96; Cortez v Kenneally 44 CA4 523, T/AT 5/96]
