     Lex Traditia




    Res Judicata, founded on two grounds, republicae ut sit litium and nemo debet bis vexari et eadem causa.
    It is to the interest of the public that there should be an end to litigation by the parties over a subject fully and
    fairly adjudicated. The doctrine of res judicata is a rule which pervades every well-regulated system of
    jurisprudence and is founded upon two grounds embodied in various maxims of the common law, namely:
    (1) public policy and necessity, which makes it to the interest of the State that there should be an end to
    litigation — republicae ut sit litium , and (2) the hardship on the individual that he should be vexed twice for
    the same cause — nemo debet bis vexari et eadem causa. A contrary doctrine would subject the public
    peace and quiet to the will and neglect of individuals and prefer the gratification of the litigious disposition
    on the part of suitors to the preservation of the public tranquility and happiness. (FLORENTINO vs.
    RIVERA et al., G.R. No. 167968. January 23, 2006)
