Y.B.Y.K. Yapa Bandara vs D.G. Chandrasena – CA 1229/98 F -2014

In the case between Y.B.Y.K. Yapa Bandara (plaintiff) and D.G. Chandrasena and G.G.S. Chandralatha (defendants), the court addressed the issue of settlement regarding the sale of Lot 2 in Plan No. 2014/56. It was held that the parties’ mutual agreement to sell the contested property for Rs. 743,000, under defined terms and deadlines, would govern resolution of the dispute. The original judgment of 20.08.1998 was set aside, and a decree was to be entered according to this settlement. The appeal was dismissed, reaffirming the principle that court-sanctioned settlements displace prior judgments and appeals when parties resolve disputes by mutual consent. This decision relied on procedural rules concerning settlement and judicial orders, emphasizing the enforceability of consensual agreements
