Objection to Evidence of Negotiated Settlements
Settlement Discussion Evidence Objection
A Settlement Offer Evidentiary Objection, also known as an Offers of Compromise Objection, is raised when a party in a legal proceeding believes that evidence of a settlement offer or negotiation is being used to prove liability or the validity of a claim. This objection aims to protect the confidentiality of settlement discussions and encourage parties to negotiate without fear of their offers being used against them in court.
