This form is used to set forth the terms and conditions stipulated to in order for parties to compromise for settlement on a claim brought under the Federal Tort Claims Act. This form is used pursuant to pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Section 2677.
Florida Stipulation for Compromise Settlement Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Section 2677 is a legal agreement that outlines the terms and conditions under which a settlement can be reached for a claim against the United States government. This stipulation is specifically mandated by Section 2677 of Title 28 of the United States Code (U.S.C.), which governs the procedure for resolving claims against the federal government. In Florida, when a person or entity wishes to settle a claim they have against the federal government, they must follow the stipulations specified in 28 U.S.C. Section 2677. This section requires the claimant to reach a settlement agreement through a formal stipulation with the government. The stipulation must be filed in a Florida court of competent jurisdiction and must comply with the specific requirements set forth in Section 2677. The Florida Stipulation for Compromise Settlement Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Section 2677 generally includes the following key elements: 1. Identification of the parties involved: The stipulation should clearly identify the claimant and any relevant government entities involved in the claim. 2. Details of the claim: The stipulation must provide a comprehensive description of the underlying claim, including the nature of the alleged injury or damage, the circumstances of the claim, and any supporting documentation. 3. Settlement agreement: The stipulation outlines the terms and conditions of the settlement, including the amount agreed upon for compensation, the method and timeline of payment, and any other relevant provisions. 4. Release of claims: The stipulation typically includes a provision stating that by entering into the settlement agreement, the claimant releases the federal government from any future claims related to the same incident. 5. Court approval: The stipulation must be submitted to the Florida court for review and approval. The court will assess the fairness and reasonableness of the settlement amount and ensure compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. It's important to note that while the process for reaching a compromise settlement under 28 U.S.C. Section 2677 is generally similar across different types of claims, the specific requirements and procedures may vary depending on the nature of the claim (e.g., personal injury, property damage, medical malpractice, etc.). Thus, in Florida, there may not be different types of stipulations for compromise settlements pursuant to this section, but rather variations in the details and circumstances of each individual claim.
