The doctrine of res judicata describes a set of rules that determine the preclusive effects of a final judgment on the merits. The California doctrine has two familiar components: a primary aspect, "res judicata" or claim preclusion; and a secondary aspect, "collateral estoppel" or issue preclusion. Under the claim preclusion aspect, a Generally, only one. This principle finds expression in a legal doctrine called res judicata, also known as claim preclusion, which "prevents parties from relitigating matters actually litigated and matters that could have been litigated in the first action.". Merriam Farm, Inc. v. Town of Surry, 168 N.H. 197, 199 (2015). Accordingly, Eisenhower could not avail itself of the doctrine of res judicata or claim preclusion because the hospital was neither a party to the prior litigation nor in privity with FlexCare. The Court of Appeals agreed with the trial court. The Court found that there was no such privity between Eisenhower and FlexCare because they had The constituent elements of issue preclusion (collateral estoppel) are the following: 1) a final, valid judgment; 2) the same parties, plus others in privity with them; 3) an identical issue in the new claim; 4) the issue was actually litigated; 5) the issue was necessary to the judgment; and. 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. Whereas res judicata (claim preclusion) bars claims that could have been raised in the first proceeding regardless of whether or not they were raised, collateral estoppel (issue preclusion) strictly bars issues that were actually and necessarily decided in the earlier litigation.
