Article 1355 of the French Civil Code

Res judicata applies only to what is the subject of the judgment. The thing sought must be the same; the claim must be based on the same cause of action; the claim must be between the same parties, and made by and against them in the same capacity.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 1355
L’autorité de la chose jugée n’a lieu qu’à l’égard de ce qui a fait l’objet du jugement. Il faut que la chose demandée soit la même ; que la demande soit fondée sur la même cause ; que la demande soit entre les mêmes parties, et formée par elles et contre elles en la même qualité.
