p0236 Under the principle of collateral estoppel, a jury's finding of non liability in an action brought by the parents of an injured child for emotional distress they experienced on witnessing his injury precluded reconsideration of defendant's liability in a subsequent action by the child for the injury; an attorney's misconduct that allegedly led to a defense verdict does not require reversal if collateral estoppel would have prevented consideration of the case anyway.CitationGARCIA v REHRIG (Issue Preclusion) 99 CA4 869 [See: Kaiser Foundation v Superior Court 254 CA2 327]
