Legal Question in Civil Litigation in New York

Settlement

If a settlement was done in court under oath before a judge, and no document was signed for the settlement, is that a binding settlement? However, if one party decides to back out of the settlement because she felt pressured to settle, would that party be able to back out of the settlement?
