AmE: markup for settlement out-of-court


Explanation:

The only hint of the target-readership was in fact your = the asker's location of Canada. So I tried to get as near, albeit geographically as possible with a 'non-British' idea....

Example sentence(s):
  • The term "mark-up" refers to the manner or procedure by which a case is scheduled to be adjudicated.
  • USA: Similarly, the maximum the defendant will offer (M) depends on his expected payoff at verdict plus his incremental litigation costs: .. where 3'X is the markup due to defense litigation costs...

Notes to answerer
Asker: FIRST, thank you for your helpful suggestion. SECOND, I'm not sure how in the request it was indicated that the target language is AmE, in fact it is BritEng. I will look through your suggestion and the references carefully, but not before tomorrow morning. Thank you again, Willis

disagree  Peter Lautz: Es geht nicht um einen außergerichtlichen Vergleich. Der Vergleichsmehrwert ist der Betrag, um den der Vergleichswert höer ist als der Wert des Verfahrensantrags (weil zusätzliche Punkte mitverglichen wurden)
