In order to ensure both stability of the law and legal relations and the sound administration of justice, it is important that decisions of courts or tribunals which have become definitive after all rights of appeal have been exhausted or after expiry of the time-limits provided for in that connection can no longer be called into question (judgments of 10 July 2014 in Impresa Pizzarotti, C‑213/13, EU:C:2014:2067, paragraph 58, and 6 October 2015 in Târșia, C‑69/14, EU:C:2015:662, paragraph 28).
