Primary Text
If after a litigation has been decided by a
final judgment, a compromise should be agreed upon,
either or both parties being unaware of the existence of
the final judgment, the compromise may be rescinded.
Ignorance of a judgment which may be revoked or set
aside is not a valid ground for attacking a compromise.
(1819a)
