43 Ind. App. 670 | Ind. Ct. App. | 1909
In the case at bar, as in the case of United Oil, etc., Co. v. Alberson, supra, the issue as to the appellant’s liability to the appellee in any form on account of the services, for which appellee brought this action, was tendered in a former action between the same parties by an affirmative answer on the part of appellant, to which answer appellee replied in denial. It appears that that issue was tried in a court of general jurisdiction, and that judgment was rendered in favor of appellant and against appellee. This judgment, being in full force, must be held to be res adjudicata of the matter involved in this action.
Judgment reversed.
