“Law of the Case” Doctrine at the Appellate Level Explained

The Second Department explained the “law of the case” doctrine at the appellate level in the context of a Family Court matter:

As a general rule, the law of the case doctrine precludes this Court from reexamining an issue which has been raised and decided against a party on a prior appeal where that party had a full and fair opportunity to address the issue … . Review of the mother’s contention regarding the prohibition against telling the child that any man other than the father is the child’s biological father is barred by the doctrine of law of the case, as this Court has already decided this exact issue on a prior appeal …, and there has been no showing of subsequent evidence or change of law … . Matter of Fulmer v Buxenbaum, 2013 NY Slip Op 05819, 2nd Dept 9-11-13
