Court of Chancery of Delaware March 6, 1936 (Venetsanos v. Pappas)

The Chancellor :

The plea presents the question of whether the complainant is estopped by the decree in the former cause from asserting in this one the existence of the alleged partnership. The parties in the two causes are the same, and the only question is whether the existence of the partnership was in issue and determined in the prior cause within the meaning of the law of estoppel.
