Does a consent order contain details of settlement?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Rick v. Brandsema, 2007 BCCA 217 (CanLII):
In Walji v. Walji Estate, [1995] B.C.J. No. 1899 (S.C.)(QL), the parties made minutes of settlement, which were followed by a consent order. The order did not contain details of the settlement and dismissed the claims of the parties under the relevant legislation. The court held that the minutes of settlement were merged into the order and that it created an estoppel by res judicata. (Para. 52.)
