2023See Weiss v. Weiss, 998 A.2d 766, 779 (Conn. 2010) (noting “the purposes of res judicata as promoting judicial economy, minimizing repetitive litigation, preventing inconsistent judgments and providing repose to parties”); Bruno, 46 A.3d at 986 (“[A] party should not be able to relitigate a matter which it already has had an opportunity to litigate.”); see also Underwriters Nat'l Assur.

2023Specially Concurring the jurisdictional issues is ‘bound on that issue by the doctrine of res judicata.’”).4 ¶71 Unlike res judicata, collateral estoppel requires a showing that the issues were “identical” and “actually decided.” See Lyon v. Jones, 968 A.2d 416, 429 (Conn. 2009) (explaining that for purposes of collateral estoppel, an “issue is actually litigated if it is properly raised in the pleadings or otherwise, submitted for determination, and in fact determined”) (citation omitted); Corcoran v.

2023See Joyner v. Leaphart, 875 S.E.2d 729, 735 (Ga. 2022) (explaining that a showing of entitlement to relief under the two-dismissal rule means a “defendant has satisfied just one of the three criteria of a res judicata defense—a previous adjudication on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction”). ¶28 When addressing issues of claim preclusion that involve cases in different jurisdictions, courts look to the law of the jurisdiction where a previous judgment was entered to determine its legal effect.

2022Decision of the Court ¶18 The doctrine of res judicata precludes a claim “when a former judgment on the merits was rendered by a court of competent jurisdiction and the matter now in issue between the same parties or their privities was, or might have been, determined in the former action.” Hall v. Lalli, 194 Ariz. 54, 57, ¶ 7 (1999).

2021A defendant who appears in the proceedings and litigates the jurisdictional issues is “bound on that issue by the doctrine of res judicata.” Id. at 457 (quoting Matson v.
