Settlement approval

Settlement approval is the official decision-making process where a court reviews and authorizes an agreement to resolve a legal dispute. Typically, parties agree to settle a case to avoid lengthy litigation, and the court's approval ensures the settlement is fair and just for all involved. Once approved, the parties usually adhere to the agreed terms, which might include financial compensation or other actions. This process helps protect individuals' rights and ensures that the resolution is legally binding, providing certainty and closure to the dispute.
