Canon 1645. §1 Against a judgement which has become an adjudged matter there can be a total reinstatement, provided it is clearly established that the judgement was unjust.

§2 Injustice is not, however, considered clearly established unless:

1° the judgement is so based on evidence which is subsequently shown to be false, that without this evidence the dispositive part of the judgement could not be sustained;

2° documents are subsequently discovered by which new facts demanding a contrary decision are undoubtedly proven;

3° the judgement was given through the deceit of one party to the harm of the other;

4° a provision of a law which was not merely procedural was evidently neglected;

5° the judgement runs counter to a preceding decision which has become an adjudged matter.

§1. Adversus sententiam quae transierit in rem iudicatam, dummodo de eius iniustitia manifesto constet, datur restitutio in integrum.

§2. De iniustitia autem manifesto constare non censetur, nisi:

1° sententia ita probationibus innitatur, quae postea falsae deprehensae sint, ut sine illis probationibus pars sententiae dispositiva non sustineatur;

2° postea detecta fuerint documenta, quae facta nova et contrariam decisionem exigentia indubitanter probent;

3° sententia ex dolo partis prolata fuerit in damnum alterius;

4° legis non mere processualis praescriptum evidenter neglectum fuerit;

5° sententia adversetur praecedenti decisioni, quae in rem iudicatam transierit.
Canon 1646. §1 Total reinstatement based on the reasons mentioned in can. 1645 §2, nn. 1-3, is to be requested from the judge who delivered the judgement within three months from the day on which these reasons became known.

§2 Total reinstatement based on the reasons mentioned in can. 1645 §2, nn. 4 and 5, is to be requested from the appeal tribunal within three months of notification of the publication of the judgement. In the case mentioned in can. 1645 §2, n. 5, if the preceding decision is not known until later, the time-limit begins at the time the knowledge was obtained.

§3 The time-limits mentioned above do not apply for as long as the aggrieved party is a minor.

§1. Restitutio in integrum propter motiva, de quibus in can. 1645, §2, nn. 1- 3, petenda est a iudice qui sententiam tulit intra tres menses a die cognitionis eorundem motivorum computandos.

§2. Restitutio in integrum propter motiva, de quibus in can. 1645, §2, nn. 4 et 5, petenda est a tribunali appellationis, intra tres menses a notitia publicationis sententiae; quod si in casu, de quo in can. 1645, §2, n. 5, notitia praecedentis decisionis serius habeatur, terminus ab hac notitia decurrit.

§3. Termini de quibus supra non decurrunt, quamdiu laesus minoris sit aetatis.
Canon 1647. §1 A plea for total reinstatement suspends the execution of a judgements which has not yet begun.

§2 If there are probable indications leading the judge to suspect that the plea was made to cause delays in execution, he may decide that the judgement be executed.
The person seeking total reinstatement is, however, to be given suitable guarantees that, if it is granted, he or she will be indemnified.

§1. Petitio restitutionis in integrum sententiae exsecutionem nondum inceptam suspendit.

§2. Si tamen ex probabilibus indiciis suspicio sit petitionem factam esse ad moras exsecutioni nectendas, iudex decernere potest ut sententia exsecutioni demandetur, assignata tamen restitutionem petenti idonea cautione ut, si restituatur in integrum, indemnis fiat.
Canon 1648. Where total reinstatement is granted, the judge must pronounce judgement of the merits of the case.

Concessa restitutione in integrum, iudex pronuntiare debet de merito causae.
