holding that a workers’ compensation award will not be set aside based upon a party’s unilateral mistake. For example, in Smith v. First Choice Servs., 158 N.C. App. 244, 249, 580 S.E.2d 743, 748, disc. review denied, 357 N.C. 461, 586 S.E.2d 99 (2003), the claimant was an officer of the employer. On appeal, we affirmed the Commission’s decision that, because the workers’ compensation pol icy included coverage for company officers, the carrier was liable for the plaintiffs compensable injury even though the extension of coverage to officers in the relevant policy provisions may have resulted from a unilateral mistake on the part of the carrier. See also Brookover v. Borden, Inc., 100 N.C. App. 754, 398 S.E.2d 604 (1990), disc. review denied, 328 N.C. 270, 400 S.E.2d 450 (1991) (<HOLDING>). Similarly, this rule is consistent with the
holding that the trial court was without authority to set aside entry of default on motion to set aside default judgment holding that a unilateral mistake by an unrepresented claimant would not support a decision to set aside a settlement agreement that the plaintiff had signed holding that a settlement agreement is not a court order and therefore a violation of the settlement agreement would not subject a party to contempt recognizing that a trial court can set aside verdict holding that where both parties had all the facts needed to form a correct conclusion as to the law a settlement will not be set aside on theory of mutual mistake
