1. “Appellants assert that there is no enforceable settlement agreement because the court vacated the order approving the settlement. Appellees argue the court vacated only the order approving the incorrect version of the settlement and that the correct version of the settlement upon which the parties agreed in mediation is valid and enforceable. From the record, it is unclear whether an enforceable settlement agreement exists. Because a factual determination needs to be made, we reverse and remand for an evidentiary hearing on whether the settlement agreement is enforceable and should be accepted; if not enforceable, then the case should proceed to a trial on the merits.”
