Re de Burgho’s Estate: 1896

The court considered the necessary elements of issue estoppel: ‘According to the clear principles of the law of estoppel, it is necessary, in order to estop the objector, to show that he derives title under Dwyer by act or operation of law subsequent to the recovery of the judgment. If this is shown it is reasonable that he should be estopped, because his estate was represented at the time of the recovery of the judgment though not in his person.’
