Mediated Settlement Agreement MSC Program {DRC-15}

AOC-DRC-15 - MEDIATED SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT MSC PROGRAM. This form is used in the Superior Court Division of North Carolina to formally document the terms of a full and final settlement reached by parties during a Mediated Settlement Conference (MSC), as authorized under Rule 4(c) of the Rules for Mediated Settlement Conferences and Other Settlement Procedures in Superior Court Civil Actions. This form is completed when both parties—plaintiff(s) and defendant(s)—come to a mutual resolution of all issues in their case through mediation. It outlines the specific settlement terms, such as any monetary payments to be made by either party, the timeframe for payment, requirements for the execution of releases, and whether a voluntary dismissal with or without prejudice will be filed. It may also include a provision that a Consent Judgment or Order will be prepared, or that additional agreed-upon terms apply. The form requires signatures from all parties and reflects that, unless stated otherwise, each party will bear their own attorney’s fees and costs associated with the mediation. Notably, this form is not recommended for use in cases involving self-represented (pro se) litigants; instead, a mediation summary form (AOC-DRC-18) is advised for such situations. www.FormsWorkflow.com
