The Supreme Court of Justice rejected the appellant's request to clarify an ambiguous agreement, ruling that the claim was a pretext to modify the final judgment. Although the appellant alleged obscurity and ambiguity in the written accord, the court found no substantive ground for intervention. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed because the primary intent was to alter the established legal decision rather than resolve genuine textual uncertainty.
