He demanded the party address a leaked internal report on “factionalism and obstruction” during the 2017 election campaign.
A Labour spokesman refused to say how much members' money was spent on legal fees in the case.
Asked if he regretted that members' money was used he replied: "Of course, because we never wanted to get to this position in the first place.
"But the decision has been taken to settle and the decision has been taken to unreservedly apologise. That was reflected in the statement issued earlier today."
Asked if it was a "political decision" to settle the case, the spokesman said: "It's worth remembering that during the leadership contest all three candidates... said they believed the party had not taken the right approach at the time."

1. Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge
It's been nine years since Kate Middleton married Prince William at Westminster Abbey but I haven't been able to stop thinking about her dress ever since.
Sarah Burton at Alexander McQueen designed the gown for the duchess that perfectly merged royal tradition and her modern sense of style.
The long-sleeved lace dress featured a Victorian-inspired satin bodice that was padded at the hips, a silk tulle skirt, a train measuring just under nine foot and the most delicate floral lace appliqué by workers from the Royal School of Needlework, based at Hampton Court Palace.
