Res judicata represents one of the pillars of civil procedure, conferring stability to judicial decisions. However, when compared with the protective and social nature of social security law, it opens up room for reflection on its flexibility. This article aims to analyze the relativization of res judicata in the social security field, in light of doctrine, case law, and applicable legal provisions, especially in light of the production of new evidence and the application of Superior Court of Justice (STJ) Topic 629. It concludes that the rigidity of res judicata must give way to the need to ensure the fundamental rights of insured parties, provided that the established legal and evidentiary parameters are respected.
