Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

I am involved in a boundary line dispute with my neighbor who asserts that a survey his predecessor had done in 1988 (but not filed until 1991) shows the correct boundary. However, attached to my neighbor's deed, as an exception, is a court judgment from 1957 which quotes a different private surveyor's finding that the "corner" (or the "point of beginning) is different from the surveyor's finding in 1988 that my neighbor is relying upon. It seems from the field notes of the 1957 survey that my surveyor is just repeating the steps of the 1957 surveyor and that the courts have already found and ruled on this very same issue. While both my neighbor and I have land sold to our predecessor's by the same person, the exception (or judgment) is not referred to in my deed. I would like to know what the legal effect of that court judgment is on the present boundary dispute?
