.........Effect on MSA of Setting Aside Judgmt.
3 Cards On This Topic:
Proper action by trial ct. is to set aside entire judgment when extrinsic fraud found, not just permit injured party to reopen specific property issues.
Setting aside judgment does not automatically set aside underlying agreement; must specifically request this relief. Court may not grant more relief than requested.
MSA properly voided where judgment set aside for extrinsic fraud.
