Terms Used In New Hampshire Revised Statutes 231:107
- Damages: Money paid by defendants to successful plaintiffs in civil cases to compensate the plaintiffs for their injuries.
- Evidence: Information presented in testimony or in documents that is used to persuade the fact finder (judge or jury) to decide the case for one side or the other.
- Settlement: Parties to a lawsuit resolve their difference without having a trial. Settlements often involve the payment of compensation by one party in satisfaction of the other party's claims.
Any such town may settle with the claimant its proportion of the damages claimed; and the settlement shall be a full discharge of its proportional share of the damages and costs as against both it and the other towns; but the same shall not affect the claimant’s rights against the other towns or either of them, or be put in evidence in any suit commenced by him against them, except in proceedings relating to the adjustment of contributions between the towns, when final judgment is to be entered up.
