Article 15 - Action to Compel the Determination of a Claim to Real Property
1531 - Effect of Judgment.

§  1531.  Effect  of  judgment. 1. A final judgment in favor of either
  party,  in  an  action  brought  as  prescribed  in  this  article,   is
  conclusive, as to the title established in the action, against the other
  party,  known  or unknown, including an infant or a person with a mental
  disability, and also against every  person  claiming  from,  through  or
  under  that  party,  by  title accruing after the filing of the judgment
  roll, or of the notice of the pendency of the action, as  prescribed  by
  law;  also  against  each  person  not  in  being  or ascertained at the
  commencement of the action, who by any contingency contained in a devise
  or grant or otherwise, could afterward become entitled to  a  beneficial
  estate  or interest in the property involved, provided that every person
  in being who would have been entitled to such estate or interest if such
  event had happened immediately before the commencement of the action  is
  a party thereto, or that a guardian ad litem is appointed, as prescribed
  by section 1513 of this article.
2. A new trial of said action after judgment shall not be granted as a
  matter of right, but the court may, in its discretion in the interest of
  justice,  grant a new trial upon an application made by any party within
  one year after said judgment. Upon any new trial of an action brought as
  prescribed in this article, the record of the evidence  given  upon  the
  previous  trial  may  be again offered to the court by either party, and
  may be received in evidence, in case the same evidence cannot  be  again
  procured. The courts may make such rules and orders as to preserving the
  record of the evidence given in such actions and perpetuating the proofs
  produced  therein,  either  with  or  without  the awarding of any other
  relief to the party  whose  proofs  are  so  perpetuated,  as  shall  be
  necessary or proper, and may embrace such directions in the judgment.
