The court must decide enforceability by objective assessment of the parties' conduct and the document: signatures by the parties and initialling of amendments, combined with express terms referring to payment 'in full and final settlement of these proceedings', can demonstrate a finalised, immediately enforceable settlement unless essential terms are missing or ambiguity shows no intention to be bound.
