How courts have described this case

• holding that when all of the material terms have been negotiated, the agreement does not fail for lack of mutuality simply because the written document memorializing the agreement is not signed
• explaining that “courts routinely enforce settlement agreements . . . even when one of the parties ultimately fails to sign the finalized release”
• noting that an evidentiary hearing is required when material facts are in dispute
• collecting cases holding that even when the existence of a release is material, the precise terms and specific language of the releases are not material
• finding unresolved factual issues should have prevented lower court from \discounting . . . substantial evidence of fraud without holding an evidentiary hearing\
