P1450 REVIEW DENIED For policy reasons, failure to fully disclose a fee-sharing agreement between plaintiffs' attorneys in a class action when petitioning for approval of the settlement bars later enforcement of the agreement; in addition, the court's apportionment of fees to the respective attorneys as part of its approval of the settlement is res judicata that bars any action between them regarding distribution of the fees.CitationMARK v SPENCER (Undisclosed Agreement) 166 CA4 219 [See: R of Ct 3.769; Chambers v Kay 29 C4 142, P/AT 1/03]
