Laundry v. Schott

It is clear that in reality appellants are seeking a second trial to break the April 20, 1964 contract. In the previous trial, judgment was entered requiring that the contract be specifically enforced. Hence the only issue here is whether the present action is barred by res judicata. It is.

Although appellants argue extensively that a substantial issue of fact to be tried was presented below, and thus the granting of summary judgment was improper, it is clear that the circuit court here granted the motion for summary judgment solely on the basis of res judi-cata.

A final judgment is conclusive…
