Settle

A settlement is the final agreement or resolution of a dispute between parties, often involving the payment of money or the fulfillment of certain conditions to resolve a legal case or conflict. It usually occurs outside of court, saving time and resources for all involved. Settlements can be reached through negotiations or mediation, and once accepted, they legally end the dispute. In essence, a settlement serves as a mutually agreed-upon resolution that avoids further litigation or conflict escalation.
