Yes -- the Latin term is "res judicata," meaning "a matter already judged." A litigant may have appellate rights, but generally gets one bite at the apple in trial court. You can't litigate the same thing over and over again!
Best of luck to you. If you'd like to discuss the matter further, feel free to contact me offline.
