An application for review may only be made for one of the following reasons:
1. If, after the judgment, it is revealed that the decision was surprised by the fraud of the party in whose favour it was given;
2. If, since the judgment, decisive material has been recovered which had been withheld by the act of another party;
3. If he has been judged on exhibits acknowledged or judicially declared to be false since the judgment;
4. If he has been judged on attestations, testimonies or oaths that have been judicially declared false since the judgment.
In all these cases, the appeal is admissible only if its author was unable, through no fault of his own, to assert the cause he is invoking before the decision became res judicata.
