Where a court has dismissed a compensation application or granted only part of it, what may the applicant still do about that ruling and about the same application?
General information · Not legal advice
Material to check
In a practice file we read the ruling on the compensation application to see whether it dismissed the application, granted part of it, or granted it in full, and whether it was made together with a protective disposition order, so that the bar can be applied to the right decision.
These are types of material to look for, not evidence already verified by PRO SE.
Where readings differ
One reading takes the bar as complete for the applicant: where the ruling dismisses the compensation application, or grants only part of it, the applicant may not seek a review of that ruling and may not bring the same compensation application again.
Another reading marks the limits of the bar: it is written for the applicant alone, so the provision does not say what the person against whom the application was made may do about the same ruling, and it does not define how far 'the same' compensation application reaches beyond what that file covered.
Your judgment
Once part of a compensation application has been granted, what in the record shows which claims remain unmet, and would a further application on those claims be the same?
PRO SE does not make this decision or keep a case record on this public site.When to reconsider
We look at this again if the provision is amended to let a dissatisfied applicant seek review, or if a court decision defines what counts as the same compensation application.
