- 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.
The county or municipal counsel may recommend to their respective governing bodies a compromise and settlement of any claim for payment of costs incurred by the county or municipality in defense of an indigent whenever it appears in his judgment to be in the best interests of the county or municipality. The compromise or settlement may be approved by resolution of the governing body.
