Enforceability of Settlement Agreement Despite Lack of Formal Execution
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAThe reviewing court addressed whether an agreement reached in settlement negotiations was enforceable despite an alleged lack of formal execution and whether certain defenses were properly considered. The court reasoned that the enforceability of the settlement depended on the parties' intent to be bound, which could be inferred from their conduct and the substance of the agreement, even without a final document, but that certain defenses, such as a lack of proper authority for one signatory, needed to be fully established to void the agreement, ultimately upholding a lower determination that the settlement was binding based on the evidence presented regarding the parties' assent and actions following the negotiation.
