Res judicata summary judgment claim preclusion estoppel. Trial court appropriately granted summary judgment on claims for supplemental payments and abuse of process on claims that had previously been tried to final judgment in second action involving the same parties. However, the trial court erred in finding that the litigation foreclosed further litigation where although the claims addressed the same contract it did not address the same underlying facts and had not been litigated in the original action.
