Calder Race Course, Inc. v. Department of Business & Professional Regulation
838 So. 2d 1241; 2003 Fla. App. LEXIS 3063; 2003 WL 882779
(Southern Reporter, Second Series)
Calder Race Course, Inc. v. Department of Business & Professional Regulation
Opinion of the Court
Appellants seek review of a final order dismissing their complaint with prejudice, as barred by res judicata and collateral estoppel. Because we conclude that neither the affirmative defense of res judicata nor that of collateral estoppel is conclusively demonstrated within the four corners of the complaint, we hold that it was error to dismiss the complaint with prejudice as barred by either defense. See, e.g., Liv
REVERSED and REMANDED, with directions.
