How courts have described this case

• holding that claim preclusion “should not be defeated by minor differences of form, parties, or allegations, when these are contrived only to obscure the real purpose—a second trial on the same cause between the same parties” (internal quotation marks omitted)
• adjudication in nuisance action litigated by the government can bind a later class action on an identical claim because the class was so well represented in the earlier suit that its “interest received actual and efficient protection”
