Question juridique clé
Whether the remand judgment barred review of res judicata of the 1948 paternity judgment
Solution extraite
The remand judgment was binding; the res judicata objection could no longer be raised because it had not been invoked in the prior federal proceedings.
Motifs extraits
The Federal Court had remitted the case only to examine the conditions of the paternity action. Issues that could and should have been raised earlier, but were not, are covered by the remand judgment's authority.
