'it resolves a stalemate' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'drive away solicitor after fine' is the wordplay.
'drive away' becomes 'shoo' (shooing is a kind of driving away).
'solicitor' becomes 'tout' (someone who solicits business).
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'fine' becomes 'penalty' (I've seen this before).
'shoo'+'tout'='shootout'
'shootout' put after 'penalty' is 'PENALTY SHOOT-OUT'.
