Article 76 explained in plain English
This article explains what the text of a judgment issued on an objection must contain. In addition to the basic particulars mentioned in Article 62, it must include:
- An adequate summary of the objection including: the objector's requests, the operative part of the judgment objected to, the gist of the grounds on which the objection was based, and the requests in the case whose judgment is being objected to.
- A response to the essential defenses contained in the objection request, unless the judgment objected to included a response to them.
Referring to the judgment objected to: the judgment on the objection may refer to the facts and reasons of the judgment objected to, provided that the judgment referred to has its facts and reasons set out sufficiently to be referred to.
So the judgment on the objection includes what shows the subject of the objection and the objector's requests and grounds, along with a response to the essential defenses that the judgment objected to did not respond to.
The article is connected to Article 75, which makes the address recorded in the case particulars the address for notification in an objection by way of appeal, and to Article 77, which provides that final judgments that have acquired the force of res judicata are binding in what they decided of the dispute, provided the dispute is between the same parties without a change in their capacities and concerns the same right in subject and cause.
Anyone who believes the judgment on an objection issued in their case did not respond to an essential defense they raised should consider consulting a lawyer specialized in commercial cases.
