P1069 A physician's written consent empowered her insurer to settle a malpractice claim against her, and once the claim was settled, the settlement could not be revoked by the physician's attempt to withdraw her consent; a party who stipulated to events that occurred and statements that were made during mediation and relied on them in litigation that went on for fifteen months thereby waived the privilege that ordinarily exists for events and statements made in mediation.CitationSIMMONS v GHADERI (Withdrawn Consent) 143 CA4 410 [See: B&PC 801; CivC 1586, 1587; EvC 1119; Robertson v Chen 44 CA4 1290, T/AT 6/96; Fiege v Cooke 125 CA4 1350, P/AT 3/05]
