1959As shown by Prall v. Prall, 58 Fla. 496 , 50 So. 867 , 870, 26 L.R.A.,N.S., 577, a determination of a cause of action charged in both suits "is conclusive in the second suit as to every question that was presented or might have been presented and determined in the first suit." But the Prall case also shows that as to other causes of action (habitual indulgence in violent and ungovernable temper and desertion) which were not involved in the first suit, the doctrine of res judicata is not applicable, and the first suit operates to bar the second, if at all, under the doctrine of estoppel by judg

Gordon v. Gordon green
fla · 1952

1970If the degree of proof required in the first suit is greater than that required in the second, the cause of action cannot be held to be the same.” The authority cited by the Second District Court of Appeal for the foregoing test is the Supreme Court opinion in Gordon v. Gordon, 59 So. 2d 40 .

1953Neither can it be said that the plaintiffs in the case at bar are precluded under the doctrine of estoppel by judgment from prosecuting their present suit; for the rule is that where a later suit between the same parties as were involved in a prior litigation is upon a different claim or demand the judgment in the prior action will not operate as an estoppel except as to those matters "actually litigated and determined in the initial action", Gordon v. Gordon, Fla., 59 So.2d 40, 43 , or those "rights or questions * * * necessarily involved in the conclusions reached".
