Highlight

An appeal from a decision imposing special assessments provides an adequate legal remedy for challenging special assessments, and a separate action for equitable relief generally will not lie for issues that are raised or could have been raised in the appeal.
Res judicata precludes relitigation of claims that were raised, or could have been raised, in prior actions between the same parties and means a valid, existing final judgment from a court of competent jurisdiction is conclusive with regard to claims raised or those that could have been raised in the prior action.
