Sometimes, parties to a 'private agreement' will agree to make public statements in support of it that are substantively different to the actual terms of that agreement.
For instance, I recall reading tales involving a variety of so-called "scandal sheets" which are want to (lets just say) assist the truth to journey in an unusual direction.
When challenged on this, particularly by celebrities in dire need of elevation back to the rarefied air of the A-list, the newspaper in question would never permit the legal action to actually proceed to court.
Instead, an out-of-court settlement would be reached between the parties. Of interest being that, so the rumours go, the public statements made by both parties to the effect that the newspaper's opinion prevailed were wildly at odds with the actual agreement which was quite the contrary.
As I have heard it told, the newspaper will pay MORE to the 'victim' in order to achieve the desired outcome; that both parties privately agree that the defamation case was successfully proven but that in public they don't.
In the context of Minor Celebrity vs. Scandalous Newspaper, the advantages to both parties are quite clear. Read on for these advantages.
