A quick definition of mutuality of parties:

Term: MUTUALITY OF PARTIES

Definition: The mutual agreement between two parties that they are both involved in a legal matter and have equal rights and responsibilities. This means that if one party is held accountable for something in a legal proceeding, the other party must also be held accountable if they were involved in the same matter. Both parties must have been in agreement and aware of the legal proceedings in order for this to apply.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: The mutuality of parties refers to the requirement that both parties must have been in privity with one another in an earlier proceeding to bar a party from relitigating an issue determined against that party in an earlier action. This is also known as the mutuality doctrine.

Example: If a person sues a company and loses, they cannot sue the same company again for the same issue if the company was also a party in the first lawsuit. This is because both parties were in privity with each other in the first lawsuit, and the mutuality of parties doctrine prevents the person from relitigating the same issue.

This doctrine ensures that both parties have an equal opportunity to present their case and that the outcome of the first lawsuit is final and binding for both parties.
