Where record did not reflect that attorney obtained defendant's written consent to stipulate to a dismissal of condemnation action, it appeared that attorney's act of consenting on behalf of defendant was unauthorized; defendant's failure to contest the settlement constituted a ratification of the settlement and consequently a ratification of the stipulation and order to dismiss the condemnation action. 77 H. 144, 883 P.2d 65 (1994).  Attorney's failure to obtain written authorization under this section to settle easement action by agreeing to sell property on behalf of appellees did not bar enforcement of agreement. 78 H. 76, 890 P.2d 313 (1995).  Where attorney did not have written authority of client to settle a matter on behalf of client, agreement to settle was "unauthorized". 79 H. 403 (App.), 903 P.2d 708 (1995).
