judgment, the litigant who loses the lawsuit has not been

legally summoned by the court;

the litigant has been deprived of the possibility of defence,

or has been deprived of an appropriate agent when he suffers

incapacity;

the court within the territories of the contracting party

which is going to accept or execute the judgment has already

given judgment with legal effect in a case concerning the same

litigants on the same object of procedure, or the case is in
