How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that one party’s failure to execute the specific release sent to the other party precluded a finding of settlement where settlement was conditioned upon execution of the release
• explaining that court approval is “not an essential term” of a settlement but rather is a contingency that does not affect the proposal
• confirming that because the parties never agreed on the character, nature, or type of release to be used, no settlement agreement existed
• no agreement as to type of release where letter reminding opposing party that settlement was conditioned on execution of “enclosed release only” was not answered immediately
• type of release to be given was an essential term of settlement
