Your Legal Eye: Update #253
Do you know that when parties settle an action whether in or out of court simpliciter, the cause of action involved in such settlement is gone and is replaced by such settlement. Upon breach of the settlement the innocent party’s remedy is not to reopen the litigation so settled but to bring an action to enforce the settlement, it being an enforceable contract between the parties involved. REPUBLIC VRS. HIGH COURT, ACCRA, EX-PARTE DEBORAH ATAKORAH {BILLY CUDJOE- INTERESTED PARTY) [2015-2016) 1 SCGLR 298
