English translation of the principle

The judgment's characterisation of the disputed contract as an administrative contract, with no challenge to that characterisation on any ground. Its effect. The judgment becomes final and may not be disturbed. This is not altered by the characterisation's connection with a question concerning the arbitral tribunal's jurisdiction relating to public policy. The reason thereof. The binding force of judgments prevails over considerations of public policy.
