Abstract
This article analyzes the breadth and limits to the application of Article 179 of the Chilean Civil Code of Procedure , which describes the res judicata effect of a criminal acquittal and dismissal, in which prevails the civil defendant’s constitutional right of double jeopardy over the victim’s interest in obtaining just and fair compensation. The prevalence can be found in reasoned analysis of the factual and dogmatic similarities between the elements of the criminal offense and the elements of the civil breach.
