If you enter into a settlement agreement and as part of the settlement, the other party has 14 days to hand over things listed to be returned, and they don't. Under Wi. law can the court hold that party in breach of settlement even if its been considered settled and dismissed by the court?

What you do is return to court for an order compelling performance of the stipulation. If that order is disobeyed, then it's contempt of court. Breaching the stipulation does not autmatically constitute contempt of court.

This happens often in Small Claims victories. easy to get a judgement, hard to collect. Since your order had time limits, the person is in contempt of court.

in the U. S., a settlement of a lawsuit isn't taxable provided that it is for actual harm. (beforehand of 1996 it replaced into for all very own harm fits - economic and actual) A settlement for a organisation violation is taxable. Richard
