• Cornell v. Rudolph Foods, Inc., (Ohio 2011)

The trial court did not err when it determined that Cornell's declaratory judgment action to determine whether he has an ownership interest in Rudolph Foods was barred. Collateral estoppel precludes Cornell from relitigating the matter of a marital property division under the guise of a different cause of action because the matter of all property owned by Cornell and/or his former wife was previously settled in the divorce decree. Judgment affirmed.
