                           CHAPTER 2.   VALIDITY OF JUDGMENTS

                       TOPIC  1. REQUISITES OF A VALID JUDGMENT

  § 5. Jurisdiction of the State

  Md.App.2015. Com.  (j) quot. in case quot. in sup. Credit-card holder brought an action against debt
  collectors, among others, alleging that defendants committed numerous violations of the Fair Debt
  Collection Practices Act and state statutes in the purchase of plaintiff's debt, attempts to collect the debt,
  and filing of a lawsuit against plaintiff. The trial court dismissed the complaint. This court affirmed,
  holding that plaintiff could not collaterally attack the judgment of the previous action brought by
  defendants. Citing Restatement of Judgments § 5, the court rejected plaintiff's argument that the
  judgment was void because defendants did not own the debt, and explained that plaintiff had raised the
  issue of defendants' standing in the previous action and the court determined that it had jurisdiction,
  which had a preclusive effect on the issue. Mostofi v. Midland Funding, LLC, 223 Md.App. 687, 700,
  117 A.3d 639, 646-647.



                           CHAPTER 3. FORMER ADJUDICATION

                              TOPIC  2. PERSONAL JUDGMENTS

      TITLE  D. WHAT CONSTITUTES THE SAME CAUSE OF ACTION (What Claims are
                                   Extinguished by Judgment)

  § 62. Splitting Cause of Action-Judgment for Plaintiff or Defendant

  Mo.App.2014. Com.  (b) quot. in sup. After borrower's loan default resulted in foreclosure of its
  property, co-owner of the property brought a fraudulent-misrepresentation action against lender and
  lender's employee, alleging that plaintiff signed the documents for the loan transaction because
  defendants represented that the loan was for development of the property, but it was actually used to
  refinance another debt held by borrower. The trial court granted defendants' motion for summary
  judgment. This court reversed and remanded, holding, inter alia, that plaintiff was not judicially
  estopped from bringing its claim against defendants because of its separate action against borrower.
  Citing Restatement of Judgments § 62, Comment b, the court explained that the rule against splitting a
  cause of action applied in claims of a single plaintiff against a single defendant, unlike the circumstances
  in this case. Imler v. First Bank of Missouri, 451 S.W.3d 282, 293.
