Article 101

Where a suit abates or is dismissed under the provisions of this Chapter, no new suit may be brought on the same cause of action.

A legal representative or a legal successor or the assignee or the receiver in the case of an insolvent party, may apply for an order to set aside the abatement or dismissal within six months from the date of the abatement or dismissal.

Where it is proved that the applicant was prevented for any sufficient reason from continuing the suit, the court shall set aside the abatement or dismissal upon such terms as to costs or otherwise as it deems fit.
