ISSUE WHICH WAS NOT RAISED IN THE PRIOR FEDERAL ACTION BUT WHICH CONSTITUTED A COMPLUSORY COUNTERCLAIM UNDER FEDERAL LAW BARRED IN SUBSEQUENT STATE ACTION UNDER DOCTRINE OF RES JUDICATA.

The First Department determined the doctrine of res judicata prohibited litigation in state court of an issue which was not raised but which constituted a compulsory counterclaim in the prior federal action:

 

… [T]he Court of Appeals has provided clear guidance on this issue in Gargiulo v Oppenheim (63 NY2d 843, 845 [1984]), stating in dicta, “For purposes of the disposition of this appeal we assume, without deciding, that under the procedural compulsory counterclaim rule in the Federal Courts (FRCP rule 13[a] [in 28 USC, Appendix]) claim and issue preclusion would extend to bar the later assertion in the present State court action of a contention which could have been raised by way of a counterclaim … . … [W]e conclude that the later assertion in a state court action of a contention that constituted a compulsory counterclaim (FRCP rule 13[a]) in a prior federal action between the same parties is barred under the doctrine of res judicata … . Paramount Pictures Corp. v Allianz Risk Transfer AG, 2016 NY Slip Op 05618, 1st Dept 7-21-16
