Abstract

The gloss discusses the considerations of the proposition formulated in the justification for the judgement of the Court of Appeal, in which it was assumed that the difference between a settlement agreement concluded before the court and an agreement concluded before a mediator and approved by the court is that only the agreement concluded before the court has the legal force equal to that of a notarial deed. The presented doubts relate to the part of the reasoning concerning a settlement reached before a mediator and which has been "approved by the court."
