James Culver and Loretta Culver, Plaintiffs-Respondents v. Insurance Company of North America, Defendant-Appellant

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey held that the doctrine of res judicata bars the Culvers' action to set aside the subrogation agreement, reversing the Appellate Division and reinstating the trial court's dismissal. The Court emphasized that the parties, causes of action, and relief sought were substantially the same in the prior subrogation suit.
