Claim Preclusion

Claim preclusion, also known as res judicata, is a legal principle that prevents a person from suing again on the same claim once a court has made a final decision on that issue. If you've already had your day in court and lost (or won), you can't bring that same case back to court with the same facts and arguments. This helps to ensure that legal disputes are resolved efficiently and prevents unlimited litigation over the same issue, promoting finality and certainty in the legal system.
