The New York Stipulation of Settlement (Short Form) is a legal document used in New York State that is signed by the parties involved in a lawsuit to settle the case without going to trial. It is a negotiated agreement between the parties that resolves the dispute in a mutually satisfactory manner without a trial. It must be signed by both parties and approved by the court in order for it to be valid. The Short Form is typically used when the parties have reached an agreement and the details are straightforward. There are two main types of New York Stipulation of Settlement (Short Form): the Standard Form and the Mutual Form. The Standard Form is used when one party is agreeing to pay a certain amount of money to the other party. The Mutual Form is used when both parties are agreeing to comply with certain conditions and terms.
