Justice CAHILL delivered the opinion of the court:
We are asked here to decide whether or not a court retains jurisdiction and the power to sanction an attorney who agrees at a pre-trial conference to a settlement whose terms are incorporated in an agreed dismissal order and who then withholds payment for seven months. We affirm the decision of the trial court and hold that the court may award attorney fees in such a case under Supreme Court Rules 218 and 219.
