' The parties should check with the Court Clerk the day of hearing to determine the specific court. 

^ "The public policy of favoring and encouraging settlement makes necessary the inadmissibility of 

settlement negotiations in order to foster frank discussions". (Fiberglass Insulators, Inc. v Dupuy, et al, 

(856 F. 2d 652,26 Fed. R. Evid. Serv. 1225, 1988. See also Coakley & Williams Construction, 

Incorporated v Structural Concrete Equipment, Incorporated, 973 F.2d 349,1992; 2 McCormick on Evid. 

§266 (6th ed.); Rule 68 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.). Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of 

Evidence ".. .prohibits the admission of statements made in compromise negotiations..." (In the Matter of 

Africa Air Corporation, FAA Order No. 99-5). "Rule 408's public policy purpose of encouraging frank 

settlement discussions is as compelling in FAA civil penalty proceedings as it is in Federal Trials. Hence, 

its guidance will be followed in these proceeds." (Id.)
