State v. Kaemmerling
State v. Kaemmerling
Opinion of the Court
The opinion of the court was delivered by
This is an appeal by the state from an. order of the district court of Crawford, county sustaining a plea of former adjudication in an action against:
The law of res judicata requires that the cause of action pleaded in bar must be identical to the one in which the plea is made in the following particulars: (1) in subject matter; (2) in cause of action; (3) in the person and parties to the action; (4) in the quality in the person for or against whom the claim is made. (Benz v. Hines and Tarr, 3 Kan. 390; A. T. & S. F. Rld. Co. v. Comm’rs of Jefferson Co., 12 Kan. 127.) The cause here pleaded in bar seems to be essentially dissimilar instead of identical. They are not the same as to time when the nuisance was maintained nor as to' the persons who were engaged in the business. These particulars are so different as to make it seem impossible that they should relate to the same transaction. The court was manifestly in error.
The judgment is reversed.
