How later courts describe this case
- holding that a Holland judgment was entitled to the same binding effect in Delaware as it would have had in Holland
- “We see no reason in principle why the rule of collateral estoppel should not in a proper case be applied to a foreign judgment.”
- “I therefore first consider whether under New York law the New York judgment in Bata v. Bata, above, is res judicata and thus a bar to a determination of this action on its merits [in Delaware].”
