document that have been reduced to writing there was a unified document that had been reduced to writing it and going back and forth between the attorneys for the parties and what about the participation of mr and you he agreed completely or  think at this point if there was some factual questions that could be a question that would need to be decided back at the hearing level how would you get around the regulation this is the one that i'm struggling with th regulation i don't think you even need to go that far because it's not just the director that has authority to approve settlements through the l j process time which can be approved as well for the directors purposes they want everything spelled out in a certain manner but there is nothing in the regulations or certainly not in the statute either that says if you claim it can't find his name on this completed to contemplate as and whenever the parties to apply for compensation under this chapter including survivor benefits agreed to which seems to be the first  just pointed out and maybe you disagree with that but it seems to me that the statute in the morning regulations both have to recondition triggering the approval process required the parties have reached the song now the question  is getting a progress like you go to a class action or whatever it has to go to court for the approval but that doesn't mean as between the two parties that there hasn't been a startlement let's suppose for example that there based on the final written document even though he had already signed a document the settlement agreement my hypothetical you already signed off on as a signed point i would say that in fact agreement you hike hypothesised met all the requirements of the because i'm going off on this hunting trip i read it i'm going to come in and sign in your office when i get back it's all fine to me and there are three witnesses to that conversation ok so everything with the regulations contemplate requiring a signature to manifest a sound this is no different than typical contract case where the parties agree that a signed writing is a condition precedent to a completed agreement there is no completed settlement until there i signature and the reason for that is that protects claimants they have to look at the documents and they have up until the time actually they have up until the time of approval to to avoid the agreement so also it  if an l j has to look into the intent of the parties and determine whether claimant really intended to settle the case then that's going to slow down the process just the regulations anticipate that this process will be sped up by having  he would sign if you believe that that's what he wanted to do with the time now i don't want to digress but let's say that he went on there's a hunting trip and came back after surviving a heart the likelihood of them signing would have been refused that's what you posit it happened with you be arguing from the other perspective now you've seen the employers entitle to the benefit because it was binding and three go through and well that's where you all the terms the claimant head of really wanted it minimal to raise the factual question there certainly was evidence to claim it did everything short of a few of the terms with his own eyes which
