Does the law of the case doctrine preclude a party from seeking review of the same issue already decided by an appellate court in that case?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Hollander v. XL Capital Ltd., B250649 (Cal. App. 2015):
The law of the case doctrine precludes a party from seeking review of the same issue already decided by an appellate court in that case. "In order for the doctrine to apply, '"the point of law involved must have been necessary to the prior decision [and] the matter must have been actually presented and determined by the court."'" (Katz v. Los Gatos-Saratoga Joint Union High School District (2004) 117 Cal.App.4th 47, 62.)
