	Los Angeles Lawyer - Res Judicata
		Res judicata (from "res iudicata", Latin for "a thing decided"), more commonly res judicata in legal usage, is a common law doctrine meant to bar relitigation of cases between the same parties in court.
		Res judicata does not merely prevent future judgments from contradicting earlier ones, but also prevents them from multiplying judgments, so a prevailing plaintiff could not recover damages from the defendant twice for the same injury.
		Res judicata does not restrict the appeals process, which is considered a linear extension of the same lawsuit as it travels up (and back down) the appellate court ladder.

	Res Judicata Explained as CLAIM preclusion
		Under res judicata, a final judgment on the merits of an action precludes the parties or their privies from relitigating issues that were or could have been raised in that action.
		Res judicata bars a party from bringing a claim if a court of competent jurisdiction has rendered final judgment on the merits in a previous action involving the same parties and claims.
		Res judicata bars not only those claims that were asserted in thc first suit, but also any others arising out of that transaction or occurrence that could have been asserted but were not.

		The rule of res judicata as contained in Section 11 of the CPC has no doubt some technical aspects for instance the rule of constructive res judicata may be said to be technical but the basis on which the said rule rests is founded on consideration of public policy.
		The doctrine of res judicata is a doctrine of wide import and Section 11 of CPC is not exhaustive of it and there is high authority for the view that the principle of res judicata may apply apart from the limited provisions of CPC.
		The statement of doctrine of res judicata contained in Section 11 of CPC is not exhaustive and there fore recourse may properly be had to the decisions of the English Courts for the purpose of ascertaining the general principles governing the application of the doctrine.

	Res judicata
		Res judicata (Latin for "a thing decided") is a common law doctrine meant to bar relitigation of cases between the same parties in court.
		Res judicata includes two related concepts: claim preclusion, and issue preclusion (also called collateral estoppel), though sometimes res judicata is used more narrowly to mean only claim preclusion.
		Res judicata does not restrict the appeals process, which is considered a linear extension of the same lawsuit as it travels up (and back down) the appellate court ladder.

		Under the doctrine of res judicata or claim preclusion, a valid and final judgment rendered on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction bars another action by the plaintiff or his privies against the defendant or his privies on the same claim or cause of action.
		Res judicata bars not only the relitigation of claims which were actually litigated in the first suit, but also those which could have been litigated.
		The true reason for holding an issue to be res judicata is not necessarily the identity or privity of the parties, but instead to put an end to litigation by preventing a party who has had one fair trial on a matter from relitigating the matter a second time.

	Docket No. 2050100, Hakala v. Dowd
		The doctrine of res judicata provides that a final judgment on the merits rendered by a court of competent jurisdiction is conclusive as to the rights of the parties and their privies, and as to them constitutes an absolute bar to a subsequent action involving the same claim, demand, or cause of action.
		Res judicata applies when: (1) a final judgment on the merits was rendered by a court of competent jurisdiction; (2) there is an identity of parties or their privies; and (3) there is an identity of causes of action.
		Res judicata promotes judicial economy by preventing repetitive litigation and also protects parties from being forced to bear the unjust burden of relitigating essentially the same case.

		Res judicata is a judicial doctrine that, under certain circumstances, will serve to preclude re-litigation of cases that have already been litigated to a final judgment in an earlier lawsuit.
		As the Ninth Circuit noted, the doctrine of res judicata “’is not based solely on the defendant’s interest in avoiding the burdens of twice [or thrice] defending a suit, but is also based on the avoidance of unnecessary judicial waste.’” Id., quoting Arizona v.
		Specifically, the elements necessary to establish res judicata — or the “thing adjudicated” — are: (a) the same claims are involved in the cases at issue; (b) a final judgment on the merits in the first action; and (c) the same party or one in privity with the original party pursues the second action.
