Article 1262. The form and content of the settlement agreement

The settlement agreement is concluded in writing and signed by the persons who concluded it.

The settlement agreement must meet the requirements of enforceability and contain provisions agreed upon by the parties on the conditions, procedure and deadlines for the fulfillment of obligations, as well as on the distribution of legal costs and other conditions that do not contradict the law.

The fulfillment of the obligations assumed by the parties under the terms of the settlement agreement cannot be made dependent on each other or on other events (actions).

A settlement agreement may also be concluded regarding the issue of the distribution of court costs.

If a settlement agreement is approved by the appellate, cassation, or relevant supervisory instance court, a ruling shall be issued, all previously adopted court decisions in the case shall be annulled by this ruling, and the proceedings shall be terminated. When considering the matter of approving the settlement agreement, the appellate, cassation, or relevant supervisory instance court shall not examine the legality and validity of the respective court decision.

The settlement agreement is drawn up and signed in a number of copies exceeding by one copy the number of persons who concluded it. One of these copies is attached to the case materials.
