Consent Judgment

A consent judgment is a legal agreement reached voluntarily by parties involved in a dispute, which is then approved and entered into by a court. It effectively resolves the case without a trial, outlining the terms both sides agree to follow. Once approved by the court, it becomes a formal court order that is legally binding. Consent judgments are often used in settlements where both parties prefer to avoid prolonged litigation, ensuring clarity and enforceability of their mutually agreed-upon terms.
