Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Massachusetts

Re: settlement

If you signed a Settlement Agreement, then the remedy for a breach of the Agreement will be stated in the Agreement itself.

It generally does not mean that the Agreement is null and void, but usually means that you can sue to enforce the Agreement, and usually recoup your costs and attorney fees in doing so if the other party is found to be in breach.

Please do not hesitate to contact my office should you have any further questions.

Re: settlement

The settlement agreement should state what the remedy is for breach by either party. It usually is to sue to enforce the terms and to recover costs and attorney's fees for doing so if they are found to have breached. Good Luck!
