The Miranda rights are guaranteed by the 5th and 6th amendments to protect people accused of crimes. They give anybody in police custody the right to remain silent, to an attorney, and to have a court appointed attorney if they don't have one. These rights must be made clear to people who are accused.
The name comes from a particular court case involving a defendant whose last name was Miranda. The US Supreme Court found that he was not properly informed of the rights listed above prior to questioning (he had them, because they're guaranteed in the US Constitution, but he didn't know he had them). The Court found the police had, basically, tricked him into unknowingly giving up those rights.
Police departments today read suspects a "Miranda warning" routinely just to be sure, even though it's common enough on TV and in movies that there's a reasonable expectation that most people already know them.

When the Defendant has the money!
Joking, of course.
This question leaves out a lot of information. Is there a settlement, a judgment, an appeal? Generally, if there is a settlement, the agreement itself dictates when payment is to be made. If there is a judgment, the Plaintiff has many tools to effectuate payment, if the Defendant is not forthcoming with the payment. If the Defendant appeals the judgment, then the Plaintiff will generally have to wait until after the appeal is heard - but this is usually ok since the Defendant will usually have to file a bond in the amount of the judgment to file the appeal (which secures Plaintiffs' damages, should the appeal fail).

What are Adam Smiths four principles of sound taxation?
1. The subjects of every state ought to contribute towards the support of the government, as nearly as possible … in proportion to the revenue which they respectively enjoy under the protection of the state.
2. The tax which each individual is bound to pay ought to be certain, and not arbitrary. The time of payment, the manner of payment, the quantity to be paid, ought all to be clear and plain to the contributor, and to every other person. Where it is otherwise, every person subject to the tax is put more or less in the power of the tax-gatherer, who can either aggravate the tax upon any obnoxious contributor, or extort, by the terror of such aggravation, some present or perquisite to himself.
3. Every tax ought to be levied at the time, or in the manner, in which it is most likely to be convenient for the contributor to pay it.
4. Every tax ought to be so contrived as both to take out and keep out of the pockets of the people as little as possible, over and above what it brings into the public treasury of the state.
