Yes, malicious prosecution cases can settle out of court. Many parties prefer to negotiate a settlement to avoid the time, expense, and uncertainty of a trial. Settlements can provide a quicker resolution and allow both parties to agree on terms without admitting liability. However, the decision to settle or proceed to trial depends on the specifics of each case and the interests of the parties involved.

Malicious prosecution in tort occurs when one party initiates a legal action without probable cause and with malice, leading to damages for the wrongfully prosecuted party. Notable cases include Hoffman v. Board of Education, where the court ruled that the absence of probable cause in a prior proceeding can support a malicious prosecution claim. In Klein v. Grynberg, the court emphasized the importance of proving malice and lack of probable cause, ultimately allowing the plaintiff to succeed in their claim. These cases illustrate the legal standards and complexities involved in proving malicious prosecution.

"Want of prosecution" (or lack of prosecution) means that a particular lawsuit is not being actively pursued, i.e. prosecuted by one or another parties. All states have court rules that set time frames within which certain things, like take depositions, issue interrogatories, etc. have to be done. In the even a party to a lawsuit does not do what is supposed to be done within those time limits, the court has the discretion in an appropriate instance to dismiss the case for want or lack of prosecution.
