Terms Used In Michigan Laws 449.154

  • 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.
   Such settlement or compromise of 1 or more members of such firm or copartnership with a creditor of such firm or copartnership shall in no wise affect the right of the other partners to demand and recover from their copartners making such settlement or compromise their ratable portions of such firm or copartnership debt in the same manner and to the same extent as if this act had not been passed.
