/ɪʃuː prɪˈkluːʒən/ – Phrase
Definition: vấn đề tiên quyết.
A more throughout explanation: Issue preclusion, also known as collateral estoppel, is a legal doctrine that prevents a party from relitigating an issue that has already been decided in a prior lawsuit. This doctrine applies when the same issue was actually litigated and determined in the prior case, and the party against whom the doctrine is being asserted had a full and fair opportunity to litigate the issue in the prior case. Issue preclusion aims to promote judicial efficiency and finality by preventing parties from re-litigating the same issues multiple times.
Example: In the case of Smith v. Jones, the court applied issue preclusion to prevent the defendant from relitigating the issue of liability, as it had already been decided in a previous lawsuit between the same parties.
