REYES, R.T., J. |
||||
| The question has been adjudged previously and is now barred from being relitigated under the doctrine of res judicata, a rule which pervades every well-regulated system of jurisprudence. It is founded upon two (2) grounds, namely: (1) public policy and necessity which makes it to the interest of the State that there should be an end to litigation, interest reipublicae ut sit finis litumi (sa kapakanan ng Estado ay kailangang magkaroon ng wakas ang kaso); and (2) the hardship on the individual that he should be vexed twice for the same cause, memo debet bis vexari et eadem causa (sinuman ay di dapat bagabagin ng makalawa sa iisang dahilan).[1] | |||||
