Will the case be closed once the judgment is issued?

It depends on which trial the judgment is. If it is a first-instance judgment, the parties can appeal. If a party appeals, the second-instance procedure will be required before the second-instance judgment becomes effective. If both parties have no objection to the judgment, the case is closed without appeal. In addition, if the losing party fails to perform its obligations within the judgment period, the case is concluded and the matter is not settled. The winning party can apply to the court for compulsory execution, which is an enforcement case.
