While courts give an expansive reading to Rule 408, they generally find settlement agreements discoverable and admit them and certain settlement communications into evidence in a variety of unexpected situations.
One of the most common practices to enforce a settlement agreement is to file a motion to enforce settlement agreement in court. This motion calls on the court to enforce the agreed upon terms, and the judge has the final say. His or her role is to analyze evidence presented and listen to oral testimony by both sides.
Although the law presumes that settlement agreements are valid, they generally are subject to contract defenses, including mistake, unconscionability, duress, undue influence, and fraud.
However, the most suitable relief for a breach of a settlement agreement would be specific performance as well as damages where a patrimonial loss has been suffered. Additionally, where a settlement agreement has been made an order of court, the breaching party can be held in contempt of court.
If a party breaches the terms of the agreement, the other can bring a motion to enforce the consent to judgment. A consent to judgment can be an invaluable part of a mediated or negotiated settlement agreement since it disincentives a potential breach. It also makes enforcement more expeditious and less expensive.
