What is the name of your state? Ohio
I had a case pending, but reached a pretrial settlement with the defendants. It included a settlement amount, plus court costs charged to the defendants. This settlement was filed and approved by the judge. So far, I have only recieved payment of the settlement amount- not the court costs.
Two questions:
1) What is my recourse to collect on the court costs, per the settlement? The same as if they just failed to pay at all?
2) The check for the settlement amount had a note on it, "Final Payment". Does my cashing this check mean anything, and does this note have any effect on my collecting on the rest of the settlement?
