Supreme Court held that a final enforcement judgment in a separate debt collection case is binding in a new debt collection proceeding.

The Supreme Court ruled that a final judgment regarding the enforceability of a debt in a prior enforcement proceeding binds the parties in a subsequent debt collection suit. The applicant argued for a new assessment of the debt's validity, while the respondent insisted on the binding force of the earlier final decision. The court determined that the principle of legal certainty requires the new proceeding to respect the conclusive findings of the previous final judgment.
