2. “Where a liability insurer, by its policy contract, reserves to itself the right to defend, in the name of the insured, actions to recover for personal injuries or property damages, to employ counsel of its own choosing, to litigate or settle as it sees fit, and the insured is, by the contract, not permitted to interfere with the insurer's handling of the litigation or settlement, but is required to assist and co-operate with the insurer in the investigation, preparation and presentation of the defense, such insurer in settling such litigation without the express consent of the insured, or without his subsequent ratification of the insurer's handling thereof, acts in its own behalf, and not as the agent of the insured. Under such circumstances, the insured is not personally bound by the agreement of settlement made by the insurer, unless it was expressly authorized or subsequently ratified by him, and he likewise is not bound to pay the amount of the settlement agreed upon.”

3. “"First, that an attorney has no authority to settle a case without express authorization from his client; second, that the insured had no control over the insurance company respecting the settlement of the claims against him; that the insurance company had the right to settle the claims as it saw fit; that the settlement was of direct concern only to the insurance company, and not to the insured; that, accordingly, the insurance company and its counsel were not acting as the agents of the insured, and the settlement agreement made by the insurance company was not binding upon the defendant-insured."”
