## How later opinions describe it (automated extraction)

- reversing the grant of summary judgment to an attorney who failed to honor an assignment, noting the assignee’s theory of liability was based on a claimed assignment of the settlement proceeds and not the unsigned letter of protection

## Opinion text

I would affirm the trial court. Therefore, I concur in the affirmance of the summary judgment entered on the fraud claims and I dissent as to the reversal of the summary judgment on the breach-of-contract claim.
