| | Settlement (law) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The court is then free to modify its order as necessary to achieve justice in the case, and a party that breaches the settlement agreement may be held in contempt of court, rather than facing only a civil claim for the breach. | | | Confidentiality is not possible in class action cases in the United States, where all settlements are subject to approval by the court pursuant to Rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and counterpart rules adopted in most states. | | | A settlement, as well as dealing with the dispute between the parties is a contract between those parties, and is one possible (and common) result when parties sue (or contemplate so doing) each other in civil proceedings. |

Owen Todd, attempted to distance Law from the articles and editorials written by The Pilot, establishing Law didn't have editorial input in them. |

| | While the settlement is still subject to approval by the Workers' Compensation Commissioner, the parties have agreed to live by the terms of the settlement upon the Commissioner's approval. | | | Do not agree to any settlement terms, thinking you can change your mind until it is in writing; the courts have always said that a verbal agreement to settle a work injury case is an enforceable legal contract. | | | However, the legal impact of any such settlement should only be made upon consultation with an attorney experienced in Iowa workers' compensation law and the possible impact of a worker's compensation settlement. |

| | SSRN-The Role of Law in Settlement by Russell Korobkin |
| | Litigants often view the choice between seeking an adjudicated outcome of a dispute and settling out of court as one between invoking the public rule of law as a dispute resolution mechanism on one hand and substituting private contract for law on the other. | | | First, the parties' substantive legal entitlements affect out-of-court settlement outcomes, because a litigant with a strong case can demand more as a condition of agreeing to a private settlement than can a party with a weaker case. | | | More specifically, this article considers the ways in which these bodies of law create, shape, and constrain the ability of disputants to exercise bargaining power in ADR processes, which in turn affects both the likelihood that disputes will settle out of court and the terms of such settlements. |

| | Similarly, as Israeli settlements cannot be considered illegal, they cannot constitute a "grave violation" of the Geneva Convention, and hence any claim that they constitute a "war crime" is without any legal basis. | | | Repeated charges regarding the illegality of Israeli settlements must therefore be regarded as politically motivated, without foundation in international law. | | | Nor does it prohibit the movement of individuals to land which was not under the legitimate sovereignty of any state and which is not subject to private ownership. |
