Res judicata
Res judicata (
Latin for "a matter [already] judged") is, in both
civil law and
common law legal systems, a case in which there has been a final judgment and is no longer subject to
appeal. The term is also used to refer to the doctrine meant to bar relitigation of such cases between the same
parties, which is different between the two legal systems.
