<p class="MsoNormal">We just had a similar situation recently and had to start a whole new case and re serve. In our case the settlement had a venue clause that changed from the existing county to a different one. We toyed with a several possible avenues
to reopen the case but in the end elected to just start fresh. This is why I refuse, as part of settlement, to dismiss until the settlement terms have been completed.

<p class="MsoNormal">If the case was dismissed, I think this is a whole new action based on breach of the settlement contract. Would need a new case number and a new lis pendens.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I don’t know if it’s even possible to undo a dismissal? I guess that would be, maybe, a motion to vacate the order of dismissal under CR 59, or motion to vacate under CR 60? If it can be shoehorned into the grounds under either of those
rules...<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Real estate action resulted in a settlement wherein one party was to buy the other party’s rental home; dismissal of the action was conditioned on dismissal of the action before sale was completed; of course, seller breached, essentially
reneging, after dismissal of the lawsuit and lis pendens. Can the lawsuit re reinstituted under old cause number? What process?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is it legal to file lis pendens based on the dismissed lawsuit? We suspect seller has some nefarious activity up his sleeve.<o:p></o:p></p>
