The defendants brought a motion to enforce minutes of settlement for $4,000, which the plaintiff had signed but later sought to resile from, claiming a mistake regarding included costs and duress.
The court applied the objective test for contract existence, finding a clear and unequivocal agreement on all essential terms.
The court also found no compelling circumstances or clear risk of injustice to set aside the settlement, emphasizing the strong presumption in favour of settlement finality.
The motion was granted, enforcing the settlement and dismissing the plaintiff's claim, with costs awarded to the defendants.
