Hakim Mahkamah Tinggi, Nik Hasmat Nik Mohamad sebentar tadi menetapkan keputusan Khir untuk merekod terma penyelesaian yang dipersetujui kedua-dua pihak.
Dalam satu mesej terbaru yang dihantar Ronnie sebentar tadi melalui Facebooknya, beliau menulis:Khir Toyo meminta maaf terhadap tuduhan kepada saya yang telah disiarkan dalam suratkhabar China Press bertarikh 9.5.2008 bertajuk "Khir Toyo membongkarkan laporan polis liu tian knew pernah bercampur Tangan dalam urusan menghapuskan kegiatan pelacuran "Peguam Mohd Haijan Omar yang mewakili Ronnie Liu memberitahu pemberita mengenai perkara itu selepas pihak-pihak berkenaan menemui hakim di dalam kamar.
Pada 6 Oktober 2008, Liu menyaman Dr Mohamad Khir kerana didakwa memfitnah dengan mengaitkan beliau dalam usaha menghalang penghapusan kegiatan pelacuran.
Liu mendakwa Khir mengeluarkan perkataan palsu dan berunsur fitnah mengenai perkara itu dalam satu artikel yang dicetak dan disiarkan di sebuah akhbar berbahasa Cina, China Press pada 9 Mei 2008.
Menurut akhbar dalam talian berbahasa Inggeris, The Star Online sebentar tadi, Khir meminta maaf terhadap Ronnie dalam satu kenyataan bertulis di hadapan hakim Nik Hasmat dan meminta terma penyelesaian di luar mahkamah dibuat.
Kedua-dua mereka dilihat bersalaman di luar mahkamah sambil disaksikan ahli parlimen Puchong, Gobind Singh Deo.

Khir Toyo apologises to Ronnie Liu to settle defamation suit - The Star Online
KUALA LUMPUR: Former Selangor Mentri Besar Mohamad Khir Toyo on Tuesday
read out a statement of apology to Ronnie Liu to settle a defamation suit stemming from a statement.
The apology was part of the settlement terms recorded before High Court judge Justice Nik Hasmat Nik Mohamad.
This included a consent judgement.
(Consent judgment is a judgment issued by a judge based on an agreement between parties in a lawsuit to settle a matter aimed at ending the litigation with a judgment that is enforceable).
In his lawsuit, Liu said that Dr Khir had caused a libelous publication against him in the China Press on May 9, 2008.
Liu said although Dr Khir did not name him, the defendant had made a clear reference against him (Liu) when he (Dr Khir) mentioned a state executive councillor in charge of local government.
In a statement of claim filed on Oct 6, 2008, Liu said the words had meant he was involved in prostitution activity, that he was immoral and not qualified to be a politician.
Liu said the words also implied he was not fit to be a Selangor exco member.
