The admissibility of a conciliation agreement in administrative proceedings

The research presents the essential and substantive features of a settlement agreement as a legal phenomenon. The paper determines the advantages of settlement agreements, including prompt partnership-based conflict resolution on mutually agreed terms. The author identifies that a settlement agreement differs from a conciliation agreement in the context of administrative proceedings. The study notes that not all disputes can be resolved through conciliation agreements; it lists the circumstances allowing one to conclude such an agreement. The emphasis is placed on the fact that a conciliation agreement must include the reconciliation terms and the legal costs allocation procedure. The author concludes from the concept-based perspective that the conciliation agreement is admissible in administrative proceedings.
