The other party may be due a penalty or a share of the goods, and the legal nits have to be taken care of. A lot depends on the law of the State you’re in.
You assume all parties are equal in the Compact, but the Constitution isn't about equal parties, its about equal parties agreeing to create a third, lesser party with limited authority.
It's like your saying 2 people married and created a child, and the child gets to run the show! LOL!

If you want to play the scenario game.....
Trying to prevent the South from leaving the compact after their Notice was duly given because of some idea the other parties are owed without that stipulation being in the Contract in the first place....
is like saying you invited a bunch of people to your house for dinner and then called the cops when they tried to leave before paying for the meal.
The trouble with analogies is that, while they’re often quite colorful, they’re seldom very accurate...
“It’s like your saying 2 people married and created a child, and the child gets to run the show! LOL!”
Well, considering some families I’ve seen and heard of...but that’s too far off topic.
“You assume all parties are equal in the Compact, but the Constitution isn’t about equal parties...”
Yes, I assume all parties are equal in the Compact but the Union predates the Constitution and the the Constitution was established by the Union, not the other way around. And the Federal Government, the lesser party, is only a party in so far as it is an agent of the States.
“...without that stipulation being in the Contract in the first place.”
Why do you say it wasn’t in the contract?
