Phrases with «issue preclusion»

Issue preclusion, also known as collateral estoppel, is a legal concept that prevents a party from relitigating or rehashing an issue that has already been conclusively decided in a previous lawsuit. It means that if a court has already made a final decision on a specific issue, that decision should be respected and the same issue cannot be debated again in a different case involving the same parties or their successors. In essence, issue preclusion promotes judicial efficiency by preventing multiple lawsuits and ensuring the finality of legal determinations. Full definition
