Cassation dismissed; prior final judgment on same claim bars re-litigation under res judicata.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a lower court's decision to reject the plaintiff's claim. The plaintiff argued that the previous judgment did not cover the same claim or that circumstances had changed, but the court found the prior judgment covered the identical period and legal basis. Consequently, the principle of res judicata prevented the re-litigation of the same claim between the same parties.
