Questão jurídica principal
Whether the appellate court should take note of the parties' settlement and give it the effect of a judgment.
Decisão extraída
The court took note of the signed settlement and treated it as a judgment.
Fundamentação extraída
Under Art. 241 CPC, a settlement has the effects of a final decision; this applies mutatis mutandis on appeal, so the delegate judge could record the agreement as judgment.
