$942,112.50 in principal, $2,816.92 in costs, and $303,848.70 in
interest. (It is the $303,848.70 in interest that is the subject
matter of this proceeding.)
On November 6, 1989, Messrs. Sullivan, MacAdams, and Tarro
went to Mr. Van Tienhoven's office to receive the check and sign
documents to be filed with the U.S. District Court indicating that
the judgment had been satisfied in full. Mr. Sullivan refused to
endorse the check unless his name was on the Credit Union account.
Mr. MacAdams told Mr. Sullivan that because he was Mr. Sullivan's
guardian, it was inappropriate and unnecessary for Mr. Sullivan's
name to be on the account. Mr. MacAdams informed Mr. Sullivan that
the latter's refusal to sign the check would prevent the check from
being deposited.
On November 8, 1989, Mr. MacAdams filed a motion for
instructions with the family court. Thereafter, and before any
action by the family court, Mr. Sullivan endorsed the check.
Following Mr. Sullivan's endorsement of the check, a meeting was
held at the Credit Union. The proceeds of the Continental check
were later disbursed as follows:
American Universal $41,958.53
(Worker's compensation)
Attorney Valletta (fees) 214,108.94
Attorney Tarro (fees) 214,113.94
Attorneys Tarro, Valletta, DiPippo 184,399.37
and Dailey (disputed fees)
