English translation of the principle

An action for provisional compensation. Its basis. Mere establishment of liability and of damage without its elements and extent, and establishment of compensation without its amount. Whatever the judgment goes beyond this exceeds the scope of the action and its requirements and has no res judicata effect. The judgment's contravention of this and attribution of res judicata effect to that excess. An error requiring its cassation. Example.
