Taylor English partners Bill Leonard and Don Boyle offer insights into Res Judicata on this episode of Quillian’s Litigation Fundamentals. Don explains Res Judicata (OCGA § 9-12-40): judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction shall be conclusive between the same parties and their privies as to all matters put in issue or which under the rules of law might have been put in issue in the cause wherein the judgment was rendered until the judgment is reversed or set aside.

To illustrate Res Judicata, Bill discusses the case Coen v. CDC Software Corporation. He walks through the various claims and aspects of the case to highlight the impact of Res Judicata, comparing Georgia law to federal law. The group discusses various scenarios that showcase how Res Judicata can be complicated at times.
