jurisprudencia sentada/reiterada (or) doctrina jurisprudencial sentada/reiterada
Explanation:
There is an ellipsis in this text. "The court also stated that it is settled law..." refers to the fact that it is "settled CASE law" meaning "jurisprudencia sentada (or) reiterada". In my reading your text does not refer to an instance of "res judicata" (a single issue that has been definitively settled by judicial decision--Black's), but rather to settled case law, i.e., judicial precedent that binds a given court to rule in a given way.

In Spanish, settled case law is expressed as:

jurisprudencia sentada/reiterada
doctrina jurisprudencial sentada/reiterada

neutral  Robin Levey: The language pair here is eng--> spa, not eng --> lat. And if 'res judicata' was the intended meaning, the source text would probably have used that expression instead of "established law".

  -> Muchas gracias, Pablo
agree  LexisPlus: That's exactly it. I also use "jurisprudencia inveterada", especially when referring to the case law laid down by the Supreme Court.
4 hrs
  -> Thanks TransBureau. "Jurisprudencia reiterada" is what I have seen Spanish Supreme Court and Constitutional Court judges call their settled case law, but other expressions are also used such as "jurisprudencia constante" or "jurisprudencia pacífica", etc.
agree  jacana54 (X): También de acuerdo con TransBureau, o incluso "jurisprudencia firme"

agree  Richard Boulter: Hmmm.. you have a point here. 'Settled law' is as legal-jargonized a phrase as 'res judicata' and both are used often in U.S. courts, but they really do not mean exactly the same thing. This is an intersting discussion. My regards to all.
10 hrs
  -> Yes, in effect, they are not the same at all: res judicata refers to an individual case that has been adjudicated and thus cannot be "revisited". Settled case law is the result of many decided cases that furnishes rules for deciding similar cases.
