Settlement in car plate case

A Beijing woman will inherit the license plate from her late husband's car after reaching an out-of-court settlement with her mother-in-law. In March, the woman, named Ren, filed a lawsuit against her mother-in-law over the license plate on her husband's car, claiming it was part of her inheritance from her 41-year-old spouse who was killed in a storm in July, 2012. The plaintiff and defendant reached an out-of-court settlement on Tuesday.
