consent decree

Read a random definition: disturbance of a public meeting

A quick definition of consent decree:

A consent decree is an agreement made between all parties involved in a legal case, with the approval of a judge. It is not a judgment, but rather a settlement agreement that is written and submitted to the court. Once approved, it is binding and enforceable on both parties. It cannot be appealed, except in cases of fraud or error. Consent decrees are often used in government regulation cases, such as antitrust, securities, and environmental law, when a defendant agrees to stop their illegal conduct and the government agrees not to pursue the case.

A more thorough explanation:

A consent decree, also known as a consent order, is a legal agreement made by a judge with the agreement of all parties involved in a case. It is not a judgment, but rather a settlement agreement that is approved by the court. Once approved, the agreement is binding and enforceable on both parties.

For example, if a company is sued by the government for violating environmental regulations, the company may agree to stop its illegal conduct. In exchange, the government may agree not to pursue the case further, and the court will issue a consent decree.

Consent decrees are often used in government regulation cases, such as antitrust, securities, and environmental law. They are used to settle disputes between parties without the need for a trial.

A consent decree is not appealable, except in cases of fraud or error by one or both parties. This means that once a consent decree is approved by the court, it cannot be challenged or changed.
