In that position, it cannot operate as res judicata between the same parties to bar a later suit, because the earlier decree remains under challenge and is not finally binding for that purpose. The qualification for appeal prevents the decree from being treated as conclusively settled during the appellate process, although this does not allow a party to recover judgment twice over on the same claim. The later suit was therefore not barred on the footing of finality. en-us Tue, 19 May 1931 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 23 Feb 2018 12:24:39 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=199220 A decree made final only subject to appeal does not attain unqualified finality while an appeal is pending.
