Res-judicata



Res judicata is governed by section 9 of Civil Procedure Act. It is a principle that provides that when a matter has been finally and adjudicated upon by a Court of competent jurisdiction it should not be reopened or challenged by the original parties or their successors in interest. It does not preclude an appeal or a challenge to the jurisdiction of the court. 

Note: its justification is the need for the finality of litigation.
