4507 While an appeal was pending on a judgment entered on a jury verdict finding for defendant, settlement by an agreement that specifically provided it did not modify the final termination in favor of that defendant and reserved his rights to pursue claims against the attorneys who had filed the action against him constituted a favorable termination on the merits in the defendant’s favor and could serve as the basis of a subsequent suit by him for malicious prosecution against the attorneys.
