The applicant sought to enforce an alleged settlement of all issues arising from competing claims to terminate and retroactively vary spousal support under a prior final order.
The court held no settlement was reached at the settlement conference itself, but found that a binding settlement was concluded through the subsequent exchange of correspondence between counsel when the remaining points of clarification were resolved.
The court held the parties were ad idem on all essential terms and that execution of formal minutes was not a precondition to contract formation.
Judgment was directed to issue in accordance with the draft final order, subject to amendments reflecting the agreed terms.
