Specifically, Rule 408 says only that settlement communications are “not admissible.” However, just because a settlement communication may be inadmissible does not mean that the opposing party can't discover it.
Rule 408 is a rule of evidence that applies in court proceedings. It basically prevents a person from presenting evidence of communications related to offers to compromise claims in order to show liability, invalidity or amount of a disputed claim. The rule reflects two legal principles.
Rule 408 Compromise Offers and Negotiations The court may admit this evidence for another purpose, such as proving a witness's bias or prejudice, negating a contention of undue delay, or proving an effort to obstruct a criminal investigation or prosecution.
Relevant evidence includes any evidence that would make the existence of a material fact more probable or less probable than it would be without the evidence. As a general rule, relevant evidence is admissible, while evidence deemed irrelevant is not.
However, your company can use the fact that it labeled the communication as a “CONFIDENTIAL SETTLEMENT COMMUNICATION” to indicate that the negotiations at issue related to an actual dispute, and not just conflicting terms.
Confidentiality protection in settlement negotiations comes from Evidence Code Section 1152. Section 1152 states that evidence of a compromise or offer of compromise is inadmissible to prove liability for loss or damage. The protections of Section 1152 extend to conduct and statements made in negotiation of an offer.
Settlement negotiations are not protected from discovery by a settlement-negotiation privilege. Although the Federal Circuit declined to create a settlement-negotiation privilege, it did not hold that settlement negotiations are presumptively discoverable.
and held that confidential settlement agreements are only discover- able if they are relevant or reasonably calculated to lead to discovery of admissible evidence. These courts have found witness impeach- meet and damage issues to be permissible relevant purposes.
