The respondent brought a motion to enforce draft Minutes of Settlement that were negotiated and finalized between counsel.
The applicant's counsel had sent the final draft to the respondent, who signed it, but the applicant subsequently refused to sign, citing a new psychological assessment of the child.
The court applied the objective test for a settlement and found that a meeting of the minds had occurred, the essential terms were agreed upon, and the agreement was not conditional.
The court granted the motion and ordered the Minutes of Settlement to be incorporated into a final order.
