“Hello [res judicata], my old friend. I’ve come to talk with you again.”—Paul Simon’s “The Sound of Silence”
One can only wonder if Vice Chancellor Lori W. Will had thoughts similar to Paul Simon’s lyrics, or flashbacks to early days of law school, as she penned her recent decision in the saga of Chai v. Maginn, C.A. 2024-0393-LWW (Del. Ch. Oct. 1, 2024), wherein she invoked the doctrine of res judicata to award a defendant summary judgment in Chai’s third-filed action within 12 months.
