I am not sure what you consider a release of responsibility. If a case gets settled, the defendant will require the plaintiff to sign a release, which releases the defendant from any and all further liability in exchange for the payment of money. That is a contract, and it cannot be set aside unless you can prove fraud.

In the absence of fraud a release is a release. That is why they call it a release.

I'd have to actually see the release and understand the changes made in the test to be able to answer that question.
