The video provides an in-depth analysis of 'res judicata,' a legal doctrine ensuring that a matter already judged cannot be litigated again, offering legal certainty and immutability of court decisions. It outlines the doctrine's conceptual framework, impact on legal proceedings, and its regulation under the Code of Civil Procedure. The presenter distinguishes between "formal res judicata," affecting individual trials, and "substantial res judicata," applicable across all legal procedures. The discussion extends to civil and criminal contexts, detailing how res judicata functions for parties involved and its enforceability upon valid notification and definitive judicial resolution. The video also explains the differences between legal actions and exceptions, highlighting their respective limitations and applications. The presentation concludes by stressing the importance of grasping res judicata's boundaries, inviting audience engagement, and providing avenues for further content exploration.

In this part of the video, the presenter introduces the topic of ‘res judicata’ and mentions that it was selected by the audience on Instagram. The video aims to cover its legal regulation, concept, classification, and how to answer related questions effectively. The presenter explains that there is no definition of ‘res judicata’ in the Code of Civil Procedure, but it is understood through its effects: immutability and effectiveness of notified sentences. ‘Res judicata’ is defined by the doctrine as the quality that prevents re-litigation of the same matter in the same or different trials, thus providing legal certainty.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the concept of “res judicata” and its implications in legal proceedings. They explain that res judicata can be relative and has limitations, emphasizing the roles of legal identities, the cause requested, and the object requested. They clarify that while a civil sentence, once notified, is generally irrevocable, it can be renounced if the courts are not demanded to enforce it. Key distinctions are made between “formal res judicata,” where a sentence becomes immutable only within the specific trial but can be alleged in another trial, and “substantial res judicata,” where the sentence is immutable across all procedures, preventing further lawsuits on the same grounds. Examples, such as executive and ordinary trials, are provided to illustrate these concepts.

In this part of the video, the speaker explains the concept of res judicata and its regulation in the code of civil procedure, specifically in articles 175 and following. Res judicata addresses both the action and exception but focuses on the rights and exceptions rather than elements. It is distinguished between civil and criminal matters.
In civil cases, both parties involved in the lawsuit and third parties benefiting from the resolution can request res judicata. This ensures that matters already resolved are not litigated again. In criminal cases, an ex-officio judge or the accused can request res judicata. An ex-officio judge should apply res judicata if a trial has already been dismissed, potentially leading to an acquittal sentence.
For res judicata to take effect, there must be a valid notification of judgment and a firm or executory judicial resolution. The exception of res judicata implies the sentence’s immutability, meaning it cannot be debated again in the same or a different process.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses various aspects and differences between the concepts of “action” and “exception” in legal proceedings. They explain that the action of demanding something in court requires a condemnatory sentence, while exceptions can be claimed even by third parties and are not limited by such requirements. The action is subject to time limitations (prescriptive periods) such as five, ten, or three years, but exceptions, like those related to prescription, are imprescriptible. The speaker also highlights that in civil matters, the concept of “thing adjudged” (res judicata) has limitations defined by the legal identity of the person, the object, and the cause. They use an example to illustrate these points, explaining that if the same parties seek the same object for the same cause in a new trial, the matter has already been adjudicated. However, different parties may still argue over the same object and cause. The video aims to outline and clarify the concept and distinctions of judged matters, including doctrinal classifications and their regulation in the legal code.
