4 hrs confidence:
the final decision has not been given Explanation: if this is about a court case. final decision, final judgement. In contracts a 'rechtskraeftige'clause or provision is one that is legally enforceable. Hope this helps See Dietl/Lorenz under 'entscheiden' |

6 hrs confidence:
not res judicata Explanation: When something is res judicata it has been rechtskraeftig abgeschlossen. the term means an "adjudicated thing." Once a matter has become res judicata it cannot again be brought efore the court. You could write "not yet res judicata." You could eschew the Latin and write "not final and absolute." 20 yrs a lawyer & 20 yrs a translator |

7 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): -1
peer agreement (net): -1pending appeal Explanation: Hamblock/Wessels gives "pending appeal" for "noch nicht rechtskräftig" - this is of course a slightly different meaning, but could apply here since your phrase seems to have a very simlar sense. An alternative could also be "not yet legalized" though this is rather clumsy. Hamblock/Wessels |
