  > The other party has to accept a settlement, not the judge. Not to defend the absurd statement about a bribe, but with regards to the $1.5 billion dollar settlement this isn't quite true. Because it's a class action the judge will also have to approve the settlement - finding that it was fair and agreed to without collusion. This is done because the incentive structures set up a bit of a conflict of interest between class action lawyers and members of the class... Of course none of the settlement goes to the judge or court, there's no bribing going on. But judges do reject class action settlements sometimes.

    You're right to point out that a judge's sign-off is also required, but it's a necessary-but-not-sufficient condition. The point GP was presumably trying to make was that bribing a judge doesn't get the job done. The first task is to convince the other side.
