The settlement has seen Australian Unity paying Calliden around $3.4 million in full and final settlement.

Both companies announced to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) today that the parties had reached a commercial settlement in relation to the NSW Supreme Court proceedings, which had been underway since May, 2008.

The companies said the specific terms of the settlement would remain confidential.
