Re: res judicata applying to seperate commissions

You do not have to file separate suits if all of the commissions are owed by the same developer. You can file one suit and assert breach of contract claims on each of the contracts where the developer defaulted and attach such contracts to the complaint. In that way, you will save money on filing fees and service of process expenses. There are other causes of action that may apply depending on all the facts surrounding your dispute with the developer. My firm handles such contractual disputes. If you would like to discuss this matter further, feel free to call or write my office.
