Abstract

This article on res judicata focuses on judgments of unconstitutionality based on the last paragraph of article 206 of the Constitution, which states that the decisions of the Supreme Court of Justice are final, definitive, and binding. The Court has pronounced itself in final and enforceable judgments, without any recourse to appeal, which make transition to res judicata. The purpose of res judicata is to establish legal certainty for the parties and to promote certainty of the judge’s ruling.
