p0612 The single judgment rule, which prevents piecemeal appeals from separate judgments, does not prevent the entry of separate judgments against separate defendants; an action brought against several defendants is not split by arbitrating against one defendant and not the other; an arbitrator's finding does not result in issue preclusion (i.e., collateral estoppel) in the courts.CitationCUEVAS v TRULINE (Separate Judgments) 118 CA4 56 [See: Nicholson v Henderson 25 C2 375; Vandenberg v Superior Court 21 C4 815, T/AT 10/99]
