Q » What is the concept of 'res judicata' and its effect on subsequent lawsuits?
17 Oct, 2025
A » 'Res judicata' is a legal principle preventing the same dispute from being litigated more than once. Once a court has issued a final judgment on the merits of a case, the same parties cannot pursue the same claim in another lawsuit. This doctrine ensures finality, prevents inconsistent decisions, and conserves judicial resources by barring re-litigation of matters that have already been resolved.
