In Stroehmann Bakeries v. Workers' Compensation Appeal Board (Plouse), 768 A.2d 1193, 1196 (Pa. Cmwlth. 2001), the Court held that "a C&R should be on equal footing with civil settlements, which are based on a public policy that encourages settlements and stresses finality." As with any contract, it is essential to the enforceability of a settlement agreement that the minds of the parties should meet upon all the terms, as well as the subject-matter, of the agreement. Mazzella v. Koken, 559 Pa. 216, 739 A.2d 531, 536-537 (1999). These principles apply equally to C&R Agreements.
