Description
Summary:A first instance tribunal has rendered as affirmative decision in a marriage nullity case. The case had then been forwarded to the appellate court, with there having been no formal appeal or objections from either the respondent or the defender of the bond. The second instance court overturned the first instance court's affirmative decision. The second instance based its negative judgment on a lack of competence on the part of the first instance court, not on the basis of the grounds on which the matter has been judged. Can the first instance court re-try the case on the same grounds as had been used the first time, or have the grounds been exhausted due to the action of the appellate tribunal?
