Parties seeking court approval of a private settlement entered into on behalf of a
minor or mentally incapacitated person may not file a stipulation to enter suit without
process. The proper procedure is to file a complaint and CIS along with the applicable
$200 filing fee. Thereafter, the matter will be scheduled for a friendly hearing pursuant
to R. 4:44.
