Terms Used In Louisiana Civil Code 3081

  • Obligation: An order placed, contract awarded, service received, or similar transaction during a given period that will require payments during the same or a future period.

A compromise does not effect a novation of the antecedent obligation.  When a party fails to perform a compromise, the other party may act either to enforce the compromise or to dissolve it and enforce his original claim.
