This record is held from search listings because it does not meet the site’s substance floor; the official text is linked below.
Holding The court affirmed the dismissal of the plaintiff’s legal malpractice complaint because the doctrine of res judicata precluded the claims. The new complaint contained virtually identical allegations to a prior action that had already been dismissed, failing to correct the previously identified defects.
The court’s words
Since the allegations in the complaint in this action were virtually identical to the facts as alleged in the complaint in the 2020 action, they did not correct the defects in the complaint in the 2020 action.
