Zions First National Bank v. World of Fitness, Inc.

PETERSON, Justice.

This matter is before the court on appeal from an order of the Hennepin County District Court vacating a default judgment entered against defendant, D. Leonard Rice, in December 1974 on the ground that personal jurisdiction was lacking. Because defendant already fully and fairly litigated the issue of jurisdiction in 1974, we hold that the judgment entered against him is res judicata on that issue and is therefore not subject to attack on a Rule 60.02, Rules of Civil Procedure, motion to vacate.
