A signed settlement agreement is a powerful document that requires the demonstration of an extreme condition in order to render it null and void. If a party wishes to back out of the settlement, then they must prove the existence of fraud, duress, coercion, or unconscionability.
If a settlement agreement has been signed by both parties and approved by a judge, then it is legally binding and enforceable. However, after a case has been dismissed, the court no longer has the power to enforce a settlement agreement.
Those requirements include:An offer. This is what one party proposes to do, pay, etc.Acceptance.Valid consideration.Mutual assent.A legal purpose.A settlement agreement must also not be "unconscionable." This means that it cannot be illegal, fraudulent, or criminal.

So all settlement documents must be interpreted in the same manner as any other contract would be interpreted. And a settlement agreement does not need to be in writing to be enforceable. An oral settlement agreement entered into by the parties can be enforceable so long as it does not violate the statute of frauds.
