Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before creating your document.
What is the legal effect of a full and final settlement agreement in India?+
A properly worded and acted-upon full and final settlement can operate as accord and satisfaction and novation under the Indian Contract Act, preventing parties from later reopening settled claims arising from the same cause of action.
Can parties still sue after signing a full and final settlement agreement?+
Parties may be barred from suing on claims that are expressly settled and discharged, though they may still litigate issues not covered by the settlement or arising from subsequent events or breach of the settlement itself.
Is it necessary to withdraw pending cases after signing a settlement?+
Yes, where settlement relates to claims in pending suits or complaints, the parties are expected to file appropriate applications for disposal as settled or withdrawal, often by filing consent terms before the court or tribunal.
Should arbitration or court jurisdiction be mentioned in the settlement agreement?+
It is best practice to specify whether disputes about the settlement will go to arbitration or be resolved by specified courts, especially where the settlement supersedes earlier contracts with differing dispute resolution clauses.
How important is confidentiality in settlement agreements?+
Confidentiality helps protect reputation and commercial sensitivities, especially in high-stakes disputes, and parties often restrict disclosure to regulators, auditors, or as legally required.
