Reasons for Decision

1We have reviewed the materials and arguments of the parties.

2In our view, the order sought by the appellants cannot properly be characterized as an order under r. 59.06(1)(c) to carry this court's order of September 19, 2017 into operation.

3We view the dispute underlying the motion as arising out of the terms of the Minutes of Settlement, as applied to the circumstances which include the wording of this court's order.

4That dispute, essentially one of contractual interpretation, is properly resolved by a proceeding in the Superior Court of Justice in which the rights of the parties under the agreement reflected in the Minutes of Settlement can be resolved.

5The motion is dismissed. Costs are awarded to the respondents, fixed in the amount of $2,000, inclusive of taxes and disbursements.
