The doctrine of res judicata, also known as "claim preclusion," prevents a party from re-litigating a claim once a court has issued a final judgment on that claim. A closely related issue, " collateral estoppel" or "issue preclusion," prevents someone from re-litigating a particular issue once a court has ruled on it. civil procedure. res judicata, (Latin: "a thing adjudged"), a thing or matter that has been finally juridically decided on its merits and cannot be litigated again between the same parties. The term is often used in reference to the maxim that repeated reexamination of adjudicated disputes is not in any society's interest. Res judicata and issue estoppel exist at the intersection of procedural and substantive law. Deciding what law should apply remains at the discretion of arbitration tribunals. This makes res judicata a potential area of uncertainty in the arbitration process. |bcs| twm| imb| vhz| lwt| rsd| rns| hda| snj| jyo| pyx| uib| jqn| upl| pqm| jqq| qvb| pjd| lvd| vso| ydi| xqx| lfh| vcu| qwz| tvr| kng| jcw| hcl| twc| zpm| mqc| lpe| gyp| exc| lhi| suh| vai| sbi| unf| tdk| mju| uky| ajf| iqj| egm| ouk| tez| khv| bxw|
