Facts of the Case
Background
The plaintiff, Seed Co, funded the defendant Credcorp to grow seed crops under contract grower agreements for the 2018/2019 season. Credcorp breached by selling most of the harvested seed to third parties instead of delivering it to Seed Co. Seed Co claimed damages for breach. Credcorp defended on basis of a compromise agreement reached at a September 2019 meeting, which it claimed settled all disputes.
