The Supreme Court refused to adopt a new legal interpretation regarding the scope of res judicata after a lower court requested a departure from an existing precedent. The plaintiff sought to relitigate identical claims for worker compensation after a final judgment had already awarded the full amount requested. The court determined that the procedural request was futile because the underlying statute had been repealed, and the existing precedent did not apply to the specific circumstances of a full rather than partial dismissal.
