Related Lawsuits Clause Examples

The Related Lawsuits clause defines how legal disputes or lawsuits that are connected to the subject matter of the agreement are to be handled. Typically, this clause outlines the parties' obligations to notify each other of any related legal actions, may require cooperation in defense or settlement, and can specify how costs or liabilities are shared if a related lawsuit arises. Its core practical function is to ensure transparency and coordinated action between the parties when facing legal challenges that could impact their agreement, thereby minimizing risk and avoiding conflicting legal strategies.
Related Lawsuits. 9.1 The Parties will file motions to stay all proceedings against Defendants in Related Lawsuits not pending in the Federal Court, except for any proceedings provided for or required by this Settlement Agreement as soon as possible after the motions referenced in Paragraphs 8.3 and 8.8 are filed. 9.2 Within thirty (30) days of the Federal Court entering both of the Final Orders and Judgments, Plaintiffs’ Counsel shall file or cause to be filed the necessary motions to obtain dismissals with prejudice solely as to Defendants of all Related Lawsuits pending in any other federal or state court, subject to any proceedings or actions necessary to implement Article XXI–Minors and LIIs.
