Primary Text
A compromise in which there is mistake,
fraud, violence, intimidation, undue influence, or falsity of
documents, is subject to the provisions of article 1330 of
this Code.
However, one of parties cannot set up a mistake of fact as
against the other if the latter, by virtue of the
compromise, has withdrawn from a litigation already
commenced. (1817a)
