According to "Black's Law Dictionary":

	"Consent judgement.  A judgement, the provision and terms of which
are settled and agreed to by the parties to the action.  See also
"Consent" (Consent decree); and Agreed Judgement, supra

	"Consent decree, see Decree.
which says:

	"Consent decree.  Agreement by defendant to cease activities asserted
as illegal by government (e.g. deceptive advertising practices as alleged
by F.T.C).  Upon approval of such agreement by the court the government's
action against the defendant is dropped...

	"Agreed judgement.  A judgement entered on agreement of the parties,
which receives the sanction of the court, and it constitutes a contract
between the parties to the agreement when court gives the agreement its
sanction.

What this all means I leave to your imagination.
