Sure, sometimes court cases can drag on forever.
00:03
Sometimes even evolution seems to be faster.
00:07
But believe it or not, a case can have an actual conclusion.
00:11
That's when a court makes a final ruling
00:13
that cannot be appealed or pursued
00:15
any further through litigation.
00:17
This is called res judicata.
00:20
And no, it's not a type of kung fu.
00:23
It's Latin, and it means a matter already judged.
00:27
A party can invoke res judicata
00:29
to prevent the same opposing party
00:31
from bringing up the same claim against them.
00:34
That was made in a case that was already decided.
00:38
A court of law is no place for Groundhog Day.
00:42
For example, say someone sues a small business for negligence
00:45
because he slipped and fell in the store, injuring himself.
00:49
A verdict is then reached that the business was not
00:51
negligent, and if there are no grounds for an appeal,
00:54
the case is over.
00:56
The person injured cannot then try
00:58
to sue the same business again for the same reason.
01:01
Now, res judicata only applies to the exact two parties
01:05
in the previous case.
01:06
The outcome has no effect on someone who wasn't a party.
01:10
So if a new party brings a case against the same defendant,
01:13
res judicata cannot be used, even
01:16
if the case arises out of the same or similar situation.
01:20
This is because everyone should have a chance
01:22
to prove their own case.
01:24
You are not bound by the outcome of someone else's case,
01:27
because, well, maybe you can put on a better case.
01:31
To put on the best case possible,
01:33
be sure to be prepared and use all the help you can get,
01:37
including LegalYou.
01:39
LegalYou, you can do this.
