Description
This appeal involves the res judicata effect of a judgment defining the rights and liabilities of the co-makers of a promissory note. The co-maker who paid the note when it became due filed an action in the Chancery Court for Warren County based on an earlier judgment that both parties were liable on the note. The trial court heard the case without a jury and held that, notwithstanding its earlier judgment, the co-maker who paid the note was not entitled to contribution from the other co-maker. The paying co-maker has appealed, asserting that the trial courts first judgment should have foreclosed the contribution question.
