What is the applicable rule for collateral estoppel?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Boyd v. Superior Court of the Cnty. of L. A., B267727 (Cal. App. 2016):

10. "The applicable rule was stated as follows in Berry v. City of Santa Barbara (1967) 248 Cal.App.2d 438, 445: 'Collateral estoppel, or estoppel by judgment, is the secondary aspect of res judicata. A final judgment in a prior action between the same parties, or their privies, prevents the relitigation in a subsequent action between them of issues of fact, actually and necessarily litigated and determined between them in the prior action, though the causes of action in the two actions differ. [Citations.]'" (Beverly Hills Nat'l Bank v. Glynn (1971) 16 Cal.App.3d 274, 284.)
