A quick definition of defensive collateral estoppel:

Defensive collateral estoppel is when a person is not allowed to argue about something that has already been decided in a previous case, even if the new case is different. This is used by a defendant to stop the plaintiff from arguing about something that has already been decided against them. Offensive collateral estoppel is when the plaintiff uses this rule instead.

A more thorough explanation:

Defensive collateral estoppel is a legal term that means a defendant can use a previous court decision to prevent a plaintiff from re-litigating an issue that has already been decided against them. This is also known as issue preclusion.

For example, if a person sues a company for a car accident and loses, they cannot sue the same company again for the same accident. The company can use defensive collateral estoppel to prevent the plaintiff from re-litigating the issue of who was at fault for the accident.

Defensive collateral estoppel is different from offensive collateral estoppel, which is when a plaintiff uses a previous court decision to their advantage in a new case.

Overall, defensive collateral estoppel is a way for defendants to protect themselves from being sued multiple times for the same issue.

Crazy story, I had dinner with the dad of a friend of mine and he just openly went on Tinder in front of me and the other guys. Later my mom ran into him with another woman (not his wife/friend's mom) and he got very uncomfortable and never texted her again

I can't imagine what it's like being a cheater or like a serial dater. Shit seems so nervewracking

I keep my dating very clean and above board. No overlaps, no ambiguities. If you want to go into some sort of public office in the future it's good to be smart about things like that

babycat

So many politicians have sex scandals and that's how they get blackmailed and other people have power over them. I mean of course there are ethical and emotional issues too but it's literally just smart to not be a cheater

I would never go into public office as it drags in your family as well. Dating is so much easier then some people make it out to be and it is not that hard to not cheat. I would always tell my soldiers to rub one out before making a big decision so they arent acting dumb

Like if more cheaters just paused and rubbed one out they would be like you know maybe ill just watch some TV

babycat

15:20

I've seen some people do a really good job keeping their family out of it. But it really is an "anything they can use against you, they will" type of vibe

Ugh I need to go work on essays bye folks
