I arrive at the conclusion that in these circumstances the new agreement between the parties to the
 action supersedes the original cause of action altogether, that the court has no further jurisdiction in respect of the original cause of action which has been superseded by the new agreement, and that, if the terms of the new agreement are not complied 
with, then the injured party must seek his remedy on the new agreement.\'94}{\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid9651726\charrsid4262096

In my opinion, once the parties to a dispute have joined issue in litigation and have later compromised their action and filed in court the terms upon which the action has been settled an
d the plaintiff has discontinued the action as was done in this case, the same issue cannot be made the subject of a fresh action until the compromise in the previous action has been set aside in an action brought for that express purpose based upon groun
