Answer 1

Answer: set aside the settlement withHLI.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, Linea, who is an employee of Hard Labor Industries (HLI), is injured in a work-related accident and based on the diagnosis of Newt, who is a doctor, Linea accepts $50,000 from HLI and waives the right to future claims.

We are also informed that Newt's diagnosis later proves to have been wrong. In terms of the impact on Linea's agreement with HLI, Newt's mis-diagnosis is to set aside the settlement with HLI.

This will be necessary to make them understand that it was a mistake and make a settlement with Hard Labor Industries so that Linea won't be affected as they make think she has it planned in order to collect money from them so the hospital should make a settlement.
