Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant sought summary judgment against the respondent for US$194,302.11, claiming this was the balance due under a compromise agreement where the respondent agreed to pay US$5,000,000 in full and final settlement of a previous judgment debt of US$3,872,123.00. The respondent disputed the existence of such a compromise agreement, arguing that he only requested a grace period to pay the original judgment debt.
