Heading: Estoppel by Judgment Res Judicata

Text: The Johnson heirs are concerned that the finding of fact by the trial judge as to the reasonable rental value of the property during the ten year period they held the property will be asserted against them in a later proceeding. Because no judgment was ever requested by the City against the Johnson heirs for the fair rental value, [21] we believe it would be premature to answer the question of possible res judicata or estoppel by judgment. [22] AFFIRMED. BARNES, V.C.J., C. WILSON, Special Justice, HODGES and OPALA, JJ., concur. IRWIN, C.J. and LAVENDER, SIMMS and HARGRAVE, JJ., dissent. WILLIAMS, J. certified his disqualification. The Honorable CHARLES M. WILSON was appointed Special Justice in his stead.
