The court declared the decision revoked because the collegial body had already ruled that a penalty from a previous tribunal could not be included in the legal cumulation. The defense argued for a different outcome in this subsequent appeal, but the court found the earlier judgment established a binding precedent. Consequently, the court held that reversing its own prior ruling would violate the principle of res judicata regarding the legal cumulation of penalties.
