Maxim 1.5.75

The end puts an end to litigations.

Finis finem litibus imponit.

Source: 3 Co. 78; Jackson; Weisman, 75h Difficulty 2/5 — Approachable

Explanation

A final judgment concludes the dispute — the law demands that litigation reach an end and that parties be bound by the outcome.

Where this applies

  • A case has been decided and one party wants to keep litigating.
  • Someone refuses to accept a final judgment and keeps filing new lawsuits about the same issue.
