Resolves YES if the lawsuit is settled out of court, NO if it is decided by a court.
The most consequential libel trial in decades, Dominion Voting Systems’ $1.6 billion lawsuit against Fox News Network, was supposed to begin on Monday. The trial's start has now been pushed to Tuesday — which could be an indication that Fox is looking to settle. To be sure, pretrial rulings have already given Dominion a significant boost in proving its case to a Delaware jury.
Definitions:
Settlement: "An agreement that ends a dispute and results in the voluntary dismissal of any related litigation"

Fox and Dominion Voting Systems reached a settlement Tuesday in the voting machine company’s defamation lawsuit, averting a trial in a case that exposed how the top-rated network chased viewers by promoting lies about the 2020 presidential election.
An attorney for Dominion said the settlement was for $787.5 million.
The settlement, if formally accepted by the judge, will end a case that has proven a major embarrassment for Fox News. If the case had gone to trial, it also would have presented one of the sternest tests to a libel standard that has protected media organizations for more than half a century.
As per the resolution criteria, this would still need to happen before it resolves YES. But it's almost certain to happen.
Idk, seems to me this isn't about the money. It's about restoring credibility to Dominion in Red states so they can continue to do business. So a settlement for any amount of money could still kill their business. They need a judgement in their favor and stiff samctions against this ever happening at Fox again.
