How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that for claim preclusion to apply, a litigant first must have had a full and fair opportunity to litigate her claim
• holding that a one-time agreement committing creditor-clients to 28 1 provide accurate information did not support a bona fide error defense
• noting that courts regularly “have refused to find substantial control merely because a nonparty retained the attorney who represented a party to the earlier action”
• stating that “the omission of a particular statement of claim from the original suit is of no great consequence”
• cautioning that courts should “tread gingerly” in using privity as a basis for applying claim preclusion to nonparties
• noting that plaintiffs’ lack of notice of the original suit weighs against finding adequate representation
