In re Marriage of Daly and Oyster
Annotate this CaseIn this marital dissolution action, David Oyster appealed from a limited judgment on a reserved issue. The court rejected Oyster's contention that the 2006 stipulated judgment could not be admitted into evidence in the 2011 dissolution proceedings because it resulted from mediation, and was thus confidential under Evidence Code section 1116; by providing that the court would enforce the agreement and they would be bound by it, the parties clearly demonstrated that they did not intend that it remain confidential; and the court rejected Oyster's contention that a stipulated judgment created only for one case could not become the basis for a judgment in a subsequent case where Oyster cited no authority for his contention and, at any rate, nothing in the record suggested that the stipulated judgment here was intended to be limited to the original divorce proceedings. Accordingly, the court affirmed the judgment.
