Lee v. Wieder CA1/5
Andrew Lee filed suit against David Wieder and his company, Iniki Services, Inc., in the Alameda County Superior Court, seeking to collect unpaid amounts due on a promissory note (the Alameda litigation). The trial court dismissed the complaint with prejudice, finding the action was barred by a prior judgment in an action between Lee and Wieder in the Sonoma County Superior Court (the Sonoma litigation). We disagree with the trial court’s application of res judicata principles and find that the case should have been stayed rather than dismissed.
