The slide the bears are looking at shows that Ice Bear creates or causes a lot of property damage. Usually, if there is property damage whoever's property has been damaged can sue the person who caused the damage. In this specific case, it would be Ice Bear. Ice Bear is saying he settled out of court, which means the issue was never taken to court because he paid the person some settlement money.
