C.A., Sept. 27, 2010)(33959) April 5, 2013 There is not and should not be a rule of public policy precluding the applicability of
issue estoppel to police disciplinary hearings
based upon judicial oversight of police accountability; instead there should be a flexible approach, whereby courts have the discretion to refuse to apply
issue estoppel if it will work an injustice, even where the preconditions have been met.
