“A consent judgment is a bilateral contract in which parties adjust their differences by mutual consent and thereby put an end to a lawsuit with each party balancing hope of gain against fear of loss. La.Civ.Code art. 3017; Plaquemines Parish, Government v. Getty Oil Co., 95-2452 (La.5/21/96); 673 So.2d 1002 . “A judgment, whether it results from the assent of the parties or is the result of a judicial determination after a trial on the merits, is and should be accorded sanctity under the law.” Id. at 1006 .”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“A consent judgment is a bilateral contract in which parties adjust their differences by mutual consent and thereby put an end to a lawsuit with each party balancing hope of gain against fear of loss. La.Civ.Code art. 3071 ; Plaquemines Parish Government v. Getty Oil Co. , 95-2452 (La. 5/21/96), 673 So.2d 1002 . "A judgment, whether it results from the assent of the parties or is the result of a judicial determination after a trial on the merits, is and should be accorded sanctity under the law." Id. at 1006 . .... Although it has the same binding force, a consent judgment is not one rendered by a trial court as a result of a trial on the merits. A consent judgment has binding force from the presumed voluntary acquiescence of the parties and not from adjudication by the trial court. Deville v. Rapides Area Planning Com'n , 97-1437, p. 9 (La.App. 3 Cir. 6/17/98), 715 So.2d 577 , 580-81, writ denied , 98-1943 (La. 10/30/98), 727 So.2d 1167 ; Peeler v.
