20.500.12556/DKUM-78561 The current status of the preclusive effects of judgments in the federal court system of the United States of America Res judicata law in the United States of America has a long, extensive and complex history. The aim of this paper is to provide at least a working summary of some of the most important aspects of the current res judicata law in the federal court system of the United States. The flexible discovery, pleading and joinder rules have given rise to more expansive res judicata law. The paper will discuss what exactly constitutes a judgment; how the federal courts deal with finality of judgments in multiple party and multiple claim cases; the final judgment rule; the form of judgments; the methods to enter judgments and significance of entry of judgments; together with a detailed overview of the doctrine of res judicata itself, including the separate, but related twin doctrines of claim preclusion and issue preclusion. res judicata merger and bar claim preclusion issue preclusion collateral estoppel finality of judgments US Federal District Courts civil procedure true false false Angleški jezik Angleški jezik Neznano 2021-01-15 12:32:00 2021-01-15 12:32:00 2025-08-19 03:19:50 2021-01-16 03:27:15 2020 0 0 str. 163-209 no. 2 Vol. 12 2020 0000-00-00 NiDoloceno NiDoloceno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 347.953(73) 246384128 45499139 10.18690/lexonomica.12.2.163-210.2020 1855-7147 URN:SI:UM:DK:TXPMEQE5 admin,+163-210_Heller.pdf admin,+163-210_Heller.pdf 1 F40C7345DBCF464C552BBDE91E156BDD eb1b46a2ae9022db24ebeb9576fcc0e28b5d7db5c544ce267efac3a46db83a83 6dd92e58-7c5a-11f0-b405-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=195518 Pravna fakulteta LeXonomica 0 0 0
