Highlight

When 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.
A judgment is construed to give effect to each and every part of it and bring all different parts into harmony as far as can be done by a fair and reasonable interpretation.
Parties' objective manifestations from a settlement agreement and judgment, rather than their secret or subjective manifestations of intent, control the interpretation of the judgment.
