Can a civil dispute be settled after the case is filed?

Civil Cases & Dispute Resolution

Yes. Section 13 requires courts to provide parties an opportunity for compromise or mediation before judgment, and section 193 allows parties to submit a joint settlement application while the case is pending.

Settlement can occur at different stages where the subject matter is legally capable of compromise.
