Transactional Res Judicata Analysis Explained

In determining a motion to amend the answer was precluded by the doctrine of res judicata, the Second Department wrote:

“[U]nder New York's transactional analysis approach to res judicata, once a claim is brought to a final conclusion, all other claims arising out of the same transaction or series of transactions are barred, even if based upon different theories or if seeking a different remedy'” … . “In determining whether a factual grouping constitutes a transaction for res judicata purposes, a court must apply a pragmatic test and analyze how the facts are related as to time, space, origin or motivation, whether they form a convenient trial unit, and whether treating them as a unit conforms to the parties' expectations or business understanding” … . Matter of Haberman v Zoning Bd of Appeals of the City of Long Beach, 2014 NY Slip Op 05335, 2nd Dept 7-16-14
