Civil Practice: Res Judicata-Equitable Estoppel-Attorneys’ Fees
Staff Report//January 8, 2019
Where in a dispute regarding the rights and obligations of the parties to a services agreement, the communications company appellant sought reimbursement of its prepayment for unused support services, the judgment is affirmed because res judicata barred the action, and equitable estoppel did not preclude res judicata, and the trial court properly awarded attorneys’ fees to the respondents as the prevailing parties under the agreement.
Judgment is affirmed.
