What is judicial settlement?

Judicial settlement refers to the process of resolving legal disputes through the court system. This typically involves a judge or panel of judges making a decision on the legal issues presented in a case and issuing a judgment or order that resolves the dispute between the parties involved. Judicial settlement can occur in various types of legal matters, including civil lawsuits, criminal cases, family law disputes, and administrative proceedings.

Judicial settlement is a form of dispute resolution where parties submit their dispute to a court or tribunal for a final and binding decision. This is in contrast to alternative dispute resolution methods, such as mediation or arbitration, which are typically less formal and often involve the parties reaching a settlement agreement themselves.

In judicial settlement, the parties present their evidence and arguments to the court or tribunal, which then issues a decision based on the applicable law and facts. This decision is binding on the parties and is typically enforceable through the court system.

Judicial settlement is often used when the parties cannot reach a settlement agreement through alternative dispute resolution methods, or when the dispute involves complex legal issues or high stakes.
