                                  JUDGMENTS 2D



  Generally

  Del.2018. Cit. generally in disc. and in ftns. Following reports of bribery and related cover-ups,
  shareholders brought a derivative action against directors and executives of corporation. The trial court
  granted defendants' motion to dismiss based on the preclusive effect of a prior federal-court order
  dismissing a derivative action against corporation for failure to plead demand futility. This court
  affirmed, holding that the plaintiffs in both actions were in privity because both sought to represent the
  same legal rights of corporation. The court noted that Arkansas courts looked to the Restatement Second
  of Judgments for the ordinary elements of issue preclusion and to settle questions of issue-preclusion
  law. California State Teachers' Retirement System v. Alvarez, 179 A.3d 824, 834, 842-844, 848.



                                   CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION

  Relation Between Law of Res Judicata and Law of Procedure

  Cal.2018. Cit. and quot. in disc. Patient sued dentist who recommended that she receive a dental implant
  and oral surgeon employed by dentist who performed the implantation, alleging that she suffered
  permanent nerve damage as a result of surgeon's negligence. The trial court granted summary judgment
  for surgeon, finding that patient's claim against him was untimely and that patient failed to show that his
  negligence caused her injury. After the court of appeals affirmed based on the statute of limitations, the
  trial court granted summary judgment for dentist, finding that its prior no-causation determination
  precluded holding dentist liable for surgeon's conduct. The court of appeals reversed and remanded.
  Affirming, this court held that the preclusive effect of the judgment had to be evaluated as though the
  trial court had not relied on the unreviewed ground. The court cited the Restatement Second of
  Judgments in noting that, while the rules of preclusion were supported in part by considerations of
  efficiency, affording the possibility of reconsideration was also a matter of efficiency in that it relaxed
  the requirements of procedural meticulousness in the first instance. Samara v. Matar, 419 P.3d 924, 930,
  932.

  Mont.2018. Cit. and quot. in sup. Defendant filed a pro se appeal from his 2015 conviction on four
  counts of felony violation of a 2006 protective order. Affirming in part, this court held that the trial court
  did not err in denying defendant's motion to dismiss, in which he collaterally challenged the
  constitutional validity of the order. The court reasoned that, while defendant's challenge was not barred
  by collateral estoppel arising from his direct appeal from the order, because the state was not a party to
  that proceeding, it was barred by collateral estoppel arising from the court's affirmation of defendant's
  2009 conviction on eight counts of violating the order. Even though defendant did not challenge the
  validity of the order in his prior criminal proceedings, he could have done so, and, under the
  Restatement Second of Judgments, collateral estoppel also precluded a party from raising a new legal
  theory or factual assertion in a subsequent action involving the same parties if the new issue related to
