Seller's Second Action for Contract Resolution After Debt Recognition Not Barred by Res Judicata

A seller, after obtaining an amicable judgment recognizing the buyer's obligation to pay the price, subsequently initiated a new action before the same court seeking the resolution of the sale due to non-payment, leading the initial court to reject the second claim based on *res judicata*. The highest court quashed this decision, reasoning that the first judgment, which merely recognized the debt, did not definitively resolve the ultimate question of the requested contract resolution, meaning the second action concerning the dissolution of the sale was based on a distinct cause of action and did not violate the principle of *res judicata*.
