Answer: FORBEARANCE

Explanation:

It seems as though there are options to this question but the most logical answer is,

FORBEARANCE

This is the act of refraining or abstaining from acting in a manner that one has a legal right to. The person is deciding not to pursue their right to the full extent of the law.

It is usually used in financial law to describe when a creditor gives more time to a debtor than agreed to pay back but can be used here because the Plaintiff by signing the settlement will no longer pursue the legal rights given to them.
