- 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.
A. If, during arbitral proceedings, the parties settle the dispute, the arbitral tribunal shall terminate the proceedings and, if requested by the parties and not objected to by the arbitral tribunal, record the settlement in the form of an arbitral award on agreed terms.
B. An award on agreed terms shall be made in accordance with La. Rev. Stat. 9:4271 and shall state that it is an award. An award has the same status and effect as any other award on the merits of the case.
