This is done so that the court which was initially assigned the case may
retain jurisdiction over it. The court is then free to modify its order
as necessary to achieve justice in the case, and a party that breaches
the settlement may be held in contempt of court, rather than facing only
a civil claim for the breach. In cases where confidentiality is required
by the parties, the court order may refer to another document which is
not disclosed, but which may be revealed to prove a breach of the
settlement.
