Jagath Wikramasinghe vs Jayathissa Wikramasinghage Gunasekara – CA PHC 35/06-2013

In the case between Jagath Wikramasinghe (Appellant) and Jayathissa Wikramasinghage Gunasekara (Respondent), the court addressed the issue of whether matters raised in the present appeal required further adjudication or were already conclusively resolved by a previous appellate judgment. It was determined that all questions had been finally settled by the prior decision in CA (PHC) APN. 17/2006, which was deemed binding on the parties. The decision reaffirmed the principle of res judicata, emphasizing finality in litigation and preventing re-litigation of issues already adjudicated. The action relied on established precedent relating to the binding nature of prior final judgments and directed that the previous judgment be incorporated into the record, terminating the current proceedings.
