Key legal question
Whether the appeal was inadmissible insofar as it relitigated matters already decided in the prior federal judgment.
Extracted holding
The Court held that issues already decided in the judgment of 5 January 2005 could not be raised again in the same matter.
Extracted reasoning
Under res judicata, the Federal Court is bound by its earlier decision; the alleged AI pension and related financial arguments did not undermine the prior findings.
