Terms Used In Alabama Code 6-11-57

  • Settlement: Parties to a lawsuit resolve their difference without having a trial. Settlements often involve the payment of compensation by one party in satisfaction of the other party's claims.

This article shall apply to any transfer of structured settlement payment rights under a transfer agreement entered into on or after the 30th day after July 1, 2006; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall imply that any transfer under a transfer agreement reached prior to such date is either effective or ineffective.
