Syllabus

<p>Eminent Domain — Judgment — Conclusiveness — Res Judicata. Under Rem. & Bal. Code, § 7820, providing that the compensation for property taken or damaged by a city may be determined by condemnation proceedings after the property was taken or damaged, the damages are not limited to those which might have been ascertained in advance of the improvement; hence a judgment therein is res judicata and a bar to a subsequent recovery for damages to abutting property by reason of negligence in making the improvement, which was, or might have been, litigated in the condemnation proceedings.</p>
