Court Determinations Binding

Chapter: D9

In Simple Terms

Once a court or tribunal makes a final decision in a case where you were involved, you can't argue against the facts they determined. This rule applies once any appeals have been exhausted and the decision is final.

  • Court or tribunal decisions are binding on all parties involved
  • You cannot dispute the facts that were determined in the court's ruling
  • This only applies once the decision is final and no appeals are pending
  • Protects the integrity of the legal process by preventing re-litigation of settled facts
Official FIA Text

A person is bound by and may not dispute facts determined by a competent court or tribunal in a decision where they were a party and which is not subject to pending appeal.
