Am I correct in assuming that an out-of-court settlement would not count as "damages"?

I think you are safe to assume that....unless any settlement specifically spoke of any money to be exchanged as `damages`.

There are two former nannies suing Rob Lowe (and his wife?).

Both Jessica Gibson and Laura Boyce are being represented by the same attorney, Gloria Allred. I don't know if the two cases have or will be combined.

As an aside, Lowe has now dropped his lawsuit against his ex-chef, Peter Clements, who the Lowes had accused of having sex in their bed with third parties and stealing food. Allegedly, Rowe (and bride Sheryl,) "willingly dismissed their claims against the chef after he presumably helped them with their legal case against the nannies."

I presume this question will be restricted to the first nanny, Jessica Gibson, even if the cases are combined.

Hi newswrangler,

This market refers to Jessica Gibson, I ascertain this from the background which was provided during question creation. Therefore I've edited the market question so that the name Jessica Gibson is included to specify settlement.

Regards,

Ryan
