The New Jersey Notice of Settlement/Order of Dismissal is a document filed with the court by a party to a lawsuit that informs the court that the lawsuit has been settled out of court or that the case has been dismissed. This document is typically filed after the parties have reached an agreement and all the necessary paperwork has been completed. There are three types of New Jersey Notice of Settlement/Order of Dismissal: voluntary dismissal, settlement agreement, and dismissal by court order. A voluntary dismissal is a dismissal without prejudice, meaning the parties waive their right to sue each other again on the same claim. A settlement agreement is an agreement between the parties to resolve the dispute without litigating the matter before a court. A dismissal by court order is when the court enters an order dismissing the case after the parties have completed all the required steps to settle the dispute.
