By definition, a settlement agreement is when two parties involved in a lawsuit agree to handle the dispute between the parties outside of the courtroom. This is accomplished with a contract stating that the plaintiff agrees to relinquish all ability to sue the defendant, or cease any further claims regarding the matter at hand, in exchange for the terms outlined in the settlement agreement. If either party breaks the terms of the settlement agreement, it is considered a breach of contract and the parties become subject to reinstatement of the original legal action.
