An out-of-court settlement never sees a court, which is why it's
called an _out-of-court_ settlement.

I wonder why Circuit City and Martinair caved in so easily. What did
they do that makes them liable for anything?


What makes you think they weren't? The casual evidence points more
to them being responsible than Cessna.
