2024See Fernandez v. Cruz, 341 So. 3d 410 , 414 (Fla. 3d DCA 2022) (“[T]he term ‘‘parties’ has been broadly interpreted to include more than just record parties – so that, for example, a person in privity with a record party, as well as a person who controls for his own interest a record party, may invoke the doctrine of res judicata or collateral estoppel.’ . . . [O]ne party may be said to be a privy of another where the right to recover is dependent upon the right of recovery of the plaintiff in the prior action.” (quoting West v. Kawasaki Motors Mfg.

2022So, while the term “parties” has been broadly interpreted to include more than just the record parties, to invoke the doctrine of res judicata or collateral estoppel, the non-party “must have an interest in the action such that she will be bound by the final judgment as if she were a party.” Id. at 414 (quoting Stogniew v. McQueen, 656 So. 2d 917, 920 (Fla. 1995)).

2022In this vein, the term “‘parties’ has been broadly interpreted to include more than just record parties—so that, for example, a person in privity with a record party, as well as a person who controls for his own interest a record party, may invoke the doctrine of res judicata or collateral estoppel.” West, 595 So. 2d at 94 .
