1. ““. . . A judgment may be annulled on the ground of ‘ill practices,’ even though no actual fraud or intentional wrong has been committed in the procurement of the judgment, if it is shown that the enforcement of the judgment would be unconscionable and inequitable and would deprive the litigant who seeks the annulment of legal rights to which he is entitled. Leidig v. Leidig, 187 So.2d 201 (La.App.3d Cir. 1966).””
