Terms Used In Missouri Laws 57.190

  • 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.

If any sheriff or marshall shall fail to pay, without delay, the moneys with which he shall become chargeable on the settlement in section 57.180 mentioned, he shall forfeit to the county entitled to the said moneys double the amount with which he is chargeable, to be recovered by motion in the court in which such settlement shall have been made, after ten days’ previous notice of such motion.
