res adjudicata

Read a random definition: Help America Vote Act of 2002

A quick definition of res adjudicata:

Res adjudicata is a legal term that means the same thing as res judicata. This means that once a court has made a final decision on a case, the matter is considered settled and cannot be brought up again in court. It's like when a teacher gives a final grade on a test - once the grade is given, you can't keep asking for a higher grade or retake the test. The decision is final and cannot be changed.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Res adjudicata is a legal term that means "a matter already judged." It refers to a legal principle that once a court has made a final decision on a case, the same issue cannot be re-litigated between the same parties.

For example, if a person sues their neighbor for property damage and the court rules in favor of the neighbor, the person cannot bring the same claim against the neighbor again. This is because the matter has already been adjudicated and the court's decision is final.

Another example would be if a company sues a former employee for breach of contract and the court rules in favor of the company. The former employee cannot bring the same claim against the company again, even if they have new evidence or arguments to present.

Res adjudicata is an important legal principle that helps to ensure finality and certainty in legal proceedings. It prevents parties from endlessly re-litigating the same issues and allows for efficient resolution of disputes.
