Settlement in Irby civil case?
Just heard a rumor that Stuart Irby settled the civil suit stemming from the wreck for a total of $70M. Can anyone confirm or deny?
Just because a civil suit was never filed does not mean that a case cannot be settled. The settling parties will release all of their rights and enter a covenant not to sue.

If so, it's a good time to be a Farese...
I agree. But has it ever been a bad time?
I assume the settlement covers both Mr. and Mrs. Irby?
Considering there has been no civil suit filed, the answer would be no.
