Background The parties informed the court by letter that they had reached a settlement in principle.
Ruling The court ordered that the action be discontinued without costs to either party and without prejudice to restoring the action to the court's calendar. Restoration was permitted only if the parties could not memorialize their settlement in a written agreement and if they applied to restore the action by February 26, 2021. The court further ordered that if no restoration application was made by that date, the dismissal would be with prejudice, meaning the action could not be brought again.
Effect The order ended the case subject to the stated restoration procedure. The court did not decide the underlying dispute because the parties reported reaching a settlement in principle.
