Record 2 2013-08-22

English

Subject field(s)
  • Tort Law (common law)
CONT

The first branch of res judicata is sometimes called cause of action estoppel in the civil context, or double jeopardy in the criminal context. An argument on this basis asserts that the cause of action in a current proceeding is the same as the cause of action in a proceeding previously litigated, with the result that the current action should not proceed. In criminal law, the double jeopardy principle finds expression in the pleas of autrefois acquit and autrefois convict.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Droit des délits (common law)
CONT

Le premier volet du principe de la chose jugée est parfois appelé préclusion fondée sur la cause d’action en contexte civil, ou protection contre le double péril en contexte criminel. Lorsqu’on invoque cette préclusion dans une instance donnée, on fait valoir qu’une action donnée ne devrait pas aller de l’avant parce qu’elle repose sur une cause identique à celle d’une instance antérieure. En droit pénal, le principe de protection contre le double péril prend la forme des plaidoyers d’autrefois acquit et d’autrefois convict.
