Article 1261. Reconciliation of the parties

The parties may settle the dispute in full or in part by concluding a settlement agreement at all stages of administrative proceedings and during the execution of a judicial act.

Reconciliation of the parties is carried out on the basis of the principles of voluntariness, cooperation and equality.

Reconciliation of the parties is allowed only if the defendant has administrative discretion (discretionary power).

Reconciliation of the parties can only concern their rights and obligations as subjects of controversial public legal relations and is possible if mutual concessions of the parties are admissible.

The settlement agreement is considered concluded after its approval by the court.

The conclusion of a settlement agreement is not allowed in cases provided for in paragraphs 1, 3, 4 and 5 of part one of Article 27 of this Code, as well as those providing for conditions that affect the rights and legitimate interests of third parties.
