  • 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.

Whenever the county commission shall so order, it shall be the duty of the clerk of such commission to make out and deliver an abstract, certified under his hand and seal of office, of any settlement made or balance ascertained to be due the county, as provided in sections 50.330 to 50.520 to the clerk of the circuit court of the county, who shall forthwith file and record the same in his office, noting the time of filing the same.
