Miller v. Shugart agreement.

A settlement in which an insured consents to a judgment in favor of the plaintiff, on the condition that the plaintiff will satisfy the judgment only out of proceeds from the insured's policy, and will not seek recovery against the insured personally. Although the phrase takes its name from a Minnesota case, it is used in other jurisdictions as well. Miller v. Shugart, 316 N.W.2d 729 (Minn. 1982).
