    Case Number: (A-32-19) (083372)

    The court addressed a question of law certified by the Third Circuit asking whether a party who filed, in lieu of an answer, a motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim that the court granted with prejudice would be subject to claim preclusion in a later suit arising from the same transaction facts when the defendant in that suit asserted the entire controversy doctrine as an affirmative defense.
