component of the broader doctrine in New York

1998With respect to plaintiffs motion for summary judgment on the issue of liability, “ [collateral estoppel * * * is but a component of the broader doctrine of res judicata which holds that, as to the parties in a litigation * * * a judgment on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction is conclusive of the issues of fact and questions of law necessarily decided therein in any subsequent action * * * This principle * * * is grounded on the premise that once a person has been afforded a full and fair opportunity to litigate a particular issue, that person may not be permitted to do so again”

1995The related doctrines of res judicata and collateral estoppel were succinctly explained by the Court of Appeals in 1979 as follows: "Collateral estoppel, together with its related principles, merger and bar, is but a component of the broader doctrine of res judicata which holds that, as to the parties in a litigation and those in privity with them, a judgment on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction is conclusive of the issues of fact and questions of law necessarily decided therein in any subsequent action * * * This principle, so necessary to conserve judicial resources by discoura

"[T]he burden rests upon the proponent of collateral estoppel to demonstrate the identicality and decisiveness of the issue, while the burden rests upon the opponent to establish the absence of a full and fair opportunity to litigate the issue in [the] prior action or proceeding" ( Parker v.

2025That is because "[c]ollateral estoppel . . . is a component of the broader doctrine of res judicata which provides that, as to the parties in a litigation and those in privity with them, a judgment on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction is conclusive of the issues of fact and questions of law necessarily decided therein in any subsequent action" ( see Highlands Ctr., LLC v Home Depot U.S.A., Inc. , 149 AD3d 919, 921 [2d Dept 2017] [internal quotation marks and citation omitted]).

2019Moreover, "[c]ollateral estoppel . . . precludes a party from relitigating in a subsequent action or proceeding an issue [that was] raised in a prior action or proceeding and decided against that party, or those in privity" ( Matter of London Leasing L.P. v Division of Hous. & Community Renewal , 153 AD3d 709, 712 [internal quotation marks omitted]; see Parker v Blauvelt Volunteer Fire Co. , 93 NY2d 343, 349 ). "[C]ollateral estoppel effect will only be given to matters actually litigated and determined in a prior action" ( Kaufman v Eli Lilly & Co. , 65 NY2d 449 , 456 [internal quotation mark

2016Corp. v Lopez, 46 NY2d 481, 485 [1979].) Absence of Privity Privity does not have a single well-defined meaning within the context of collateral estoppel (Matter of Juan C. v Cortines, 89 NY2d 659, 667 [1997]), and is “an amorphous concept not easy of application.” (D’Arata at 664 .) Although a party seeking to invoke the doctrine need not have been the original party (B.

2016Co., 76 NY2d 659, 664 [1990].) It is “a component of the broader doctrine of res judicata which holds that, as to the parties in a litigation and those in privity with them, a judgment on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction is conclusive of the issues of fact and questions of law necessarily decided therein in any subsequent [matter].” (Gramatan Home Invs.

1985There must be identity of issue which has necessarily been decided in the prior action and is decisive of the present action, and, second, there must have been a full and fair opportunity to contest the decision now said to be controlling.” (Shaid v Consolidated Edison Co., 95 AD2d 610, 613-614 [2d Dept 1983].)
