Munro v. Munro

In Munro v. Munro, 168 Mich App 138; 168 NW2d 138 (1988), a successor attorney knew of the discharged attorney's lien, but failed to satisfy the lien out of funds encumbered by the lien. Id., 143. The trial court denied the discharged attorney's motion to enforce the lien on grounds that the discharged attorney had waived his right of enforcement. Id., 142-143. The Court concluded that the trial court's denial of the motion was erroneous, and remanded the case to the circuit court with directions to enter judgment in favor of the discharged attorney. Id., 143.
