What is the purpose of the court's finding that an employee is not entitled to sue for unfair dismissal?

California, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Bennett v. Rancho Cal. Water Dist., 248 Cal.Rptr.3d 21, 35 Cal.App.5th 908 (Cal. App. 2019):

and (3) to provide repose by preventing a person from being harassed by vexatious litigation." " " ( Murphy v. Murphy (2008) 164 Cal.App.4th 376, 404, 78 Cal.Rptr.3d 784.) These policies were all vindicated by the trial court's ruling. Bennet's employee status was fully and fairly litigated in the prior action. Requiring Bennet to relitigate it in this action would have been repetitive. It would have demoted judicial economy, risked inconsistent judgments and undermined the integrity of the judicial system, and forced him to incur unnecessary litigation expenses.

The judgment and the postjudgment order should be affirmed.
