After several years of litigation, contentious hearings and unexpected twists, a settlement has been reached between various parties in the protracted conflict concerning the failed redevelopment of the Fashion Mall in Plantation.

The settlement dismisses all complaints brought by the parties against one another, including a $48 million lawsuit by the bankruptcy estate against an investor and several companies. It also enables Chinese investor Wei Chen to retain custody of a $1 million flower shop holding that the trustee had sought in legal proceedings.
