Is compromise agreement has the effect of res

judicata?
A compromise agreement is not appealable, and is immediately
executory unless a motion is filed to set aside the agreement on
the ground of fraud, mistake, or duress, in which case an appeal
may be taken against the order denying the motion. Under Article
2037 of the Civil Code, a compromise has upon the parties the
effect and authority of res judicata, even when effected without
judicial approval; and under the principle of res judicata, an issue
which had already been laid to rest by the parties themselves can
no longer be relitigated.
