Abatement of Litigation Agreement  Review List

This review list is provided to inform you about this document in question and assist you in its preparation.  This is an agreement by debtor to pay a portion of the claim against them in return for the litigation being postponed for an agreed amount of time.  If the parties were to agree to a one time payment and dismissal, this would not be necessary.  This is an approach taken when the debtor cannot pay the full amount immediately but agrees to pay something.  The Plaintiff accepts this kind of agreement to get the money rolling towards them as opposed to more outflow in continued litigation.

 

1.     Make multiple copies.  Keep track of all payments carefully so the evidence can be used should the matter wind up back in court because of failure of the debtor to make the promised payments on the schedule agreed to in the document.

2.     As a practical matter, if payments are forthcoming, the Plaintiff is often better off accepting delayed payments, with additional interest, than going back to court—after this document has been signed and some payments made by debtor.
