TOBIAS SELGA v. SONY ENTIERRO BRAR

This case has been cited 8 times or more.

	GR No. 213197 2015-10-21	REMEGIO A. CHING v. SAN PEDRO COLLEGE OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION MENDOZA, J.
The principle of res judicata, which literally means "a matter adjudged; a thing judicially acted upon or decided; a thing or matter settled by judgment,"[25] is of common law in origin.[26] It has developed through time from court decisions as a method to protect a person from being vexed twice for the same cause.[27] Its importance cannot be overemphasized for it also forwards the interest of the State in putting an end to litigation republicae ut sit litium.[28] It conserves scarce judicial resources and promotes efficiency in the interest of the public at large.[29] That once a final judgment has been rendered, the same becomes conclusive and binding.
	GR No. 171582 2015-08-19	ALBERTO T. LASALA v. NATIONAL FOOD AUTHORITY BRION, J.
As a general rule, final judgments may no longer be modified as, after finality, all the issues between the parties are deemed resolved and laid to rest. This rule embodies the principle that at some point, litigation must end for an effective and efficient administration of justice. Hence, once a judgment becomes final, the winning party should not, through subterfuge, be deprived of the fruits of the verdict.[23]
	GR No. 209535 2015-06-15	TERESITA S. LEE v. LUI MAN CHONG MENDOZA, J.
Res judicata means "a matter adjudged; a thing judicially acted upon or decided; a thing or matter settled by judgment." It lays the rule that an existing final judgment or decree rendered on the merits, without fraud or collusion, by a court of competent jurisdiction, upon any matter within its jurisdiction, is conclusive of the rights of the parties or their privies, in all other actions or suits in the same or any other judicial tribunal of concurrent jurisdiction on the points and matters in issue in the first suit.[9]
	GR No. 191101 2014-10-01	SPS. MARIO OCAMPO v. HEIRS OF BERNARDINO U. DIONISIO REYES, J.
For res judicata under the first concept, bar by prior judgment, to apply, the following requisites must concur, viz: (a) finality of the former judgment; (b) the court which rendered it had jurisdiction over the subject matter and the parties; (c) it must be a judgment on the merits; and (d) there must be, between the first and second actions, identity of parties, subject matter and causes of action.[21]
	GR No. 182970 2014-07-23	EMILIANO S. SAMSON v. SPS. JOSE PERALTA, J.
In Selga v. Brar,[28] we held that: Res judicata means "a matter adjudged; a thing judicially acted upon or decided; a thing or matter settled by judgment." It lays the rule that an existing final judgment or decree rendered on the merits, without fraud or collusion, by a court of competent jurisdiction, upon any matter within its jurisdiction, is conclusive of the rights of the parties or their privies, in all other actions or suits in the same or any other judicial tribunal of concurrent jurisdiction on the points and matters in issue in the first suit.
	GR No. 187317 2013-04-11	CARLITO C. ENCINAS v. PO1 ALFREDO P. AGUSTIN SERENO, C.J.
Res judicata means "a matter adjudged; a thing judicially acted upon or decided; a thing or matter settled by judgment." It lays down the rule that an existing final judgment or decree on the merits, rendered without fraud or collusion by a court of competent jurisdiction upon any matter within its jurisdiction, is conclusive of the rights of the parties or their privies in all other actions or suits, in the same or any other judicial tribunal of concurrent jurisdiction, on the points and matters in issue in the first suit.[80]
	GR No. 199084 2012-09-11	ANTONIO P. CERON v. COMMISSION ON ELECTION GRACE P. VALDEZ CARPIO, J.
The doctrine of res judicata provides that "a final judgment or decree on the merits rendered by a court of competent jurisdiction is conclusive of the rights of the parties or their privies in all later suits and on all points and matters determined in the previous suit."[76] The following are the requisites of res judicata as a bar by prior judgment: (1) finality of the former judgment; (2) the court which rendered the judgment had jurisdiction over the subject matter and the parties; (3) it must be a judgment on the merits; and (4) there must be, between the first and second actions, identity of parties, subject matter and causes of action.[77] The third and fourth requisites of res judicata as a bar by prior judgment are not present in the case.
	GR No. 189418 2012-06-20	HEIRS OF SHOMANAY PACLIT v. CESAR BELISARIO REYES, J.
Exceptions to the immutability of final judgment are allowed only under the most extraordinary of circumstances.[14] The instant case cannot be considered an exception especially-when the petitioners did not even deem it appropriate to give any compelling reason for the late filing of their motion for reconsideration with the CA. .
