Invalidation of Compromise if one Knows the amount of Debt
Issue No.1844- If a debtor knows the amount he owes, yet, he declares that he does not know, and his creditor does not know either so he makes compromise with the debtor for an amount less than what he owes him, it will not be in order, and the debtor will remain indebted to the creditor in respect of that extra proportion, unless the circumstances are such that even if the creditor had known the amount of debt, he would have made compromise for that very amount.
