Settlement Validity Upheld Despite Discovery of Latent Injuries
Schweiz · Kanton Genf (CH-GE)
Legislator-Zusammenfassung
KI-generiertThe dispute centered on the validity of a settlement agreement that released all claims in exchange for a lump-sum payment, where the plaintiff later sought to void the agreement alleging mutual mistake concerning latent injuries discovered post-settlement. The court affirmed the lower court's decision, reasoning that the language of the general release was unambiguous in covering all known and unknown injuries, and the plaintiff failed to demonstrate mutual mistake by clear and convincing evidence, as the parties bargained for the risk of unknown injuries, making the settlement binding despite the subsequent discovery of more serious conditions.
