These settlements may take place by consent order, an in-chambers hearing, or in open court as circumstances dictate. Requests for an in-chambers or open court hearing should be made to the Civil Court Coordinator. The party funding the settlement should have the checks ready to provide to the relevant party or parties in the event of an uncontested consent order, uncontested in-chambers hearing, or uncontested open court hearing.
