Syllabus

<p>Courts — Election of remedies — Decrees made with consent of counsel — Subsequent repudiation — Good faith with court.</p> <p>Where a party had two remedies and, electing to follow one, in agreement with opposing counsel requested the court to make a decree in conformance with such agreement, he cannot afterwards abandon such remedy and invoke another. Good faith with the court requires him to keep the agreement made before it.</p> <p>Agreements- made before the court are not required to be in writing, and it is sufficient for the appellate court if the lower court recites that such agreements have been made.</p>
