Oral Argument

Highlight
Once a settlement agreement is merged into a judgment, the agreement is interpreted and enforced as a final judgment and not as a separate contract between the parties.
The parol evidence rule is a rule of substantive law and precludes the use of evidence of prior negotiations and agreements to vary or add to the terms expressed in the written contract.
A district court's findings should be stated with sufficient specificity to enable a reviewing court to understand the factual basis for the decision.
Whether to administer sanctions for noncompliance with the Rules of Appellate Procedure is discretionary with the Court.
