0665-en RE350 Civil Procedure Law As of 11.07.2026
Formal res judicata means that the decision can no longer be amended in the same procedure in which it was adopted and, in particular, that it is not (or no longer) subject to appeal. The substantive legal force is then the effect of a formally legal decision in relation to the established content.
