I disagree - it is being contested by the defendants and their attorneys.
From a legal standpoint, the city was within it's rights to settle the suit. Also from a legal standpoint, the defense attorneys will no doubt use this as ammunition in attempts to change the venue or even dismiss, depending on how they think the wind is blowing.
