California Court of Appeal

In a suit against a bank alleging violations of the federal Truth In Lending Act (TILA), 15 U.S.C. section 1601 et seq., and California's unfair competition law (UCL), Bus. & Prof. Code section 17200 et seq., fraudulent omission/concealment and injunctive relief, the trial court's judgment in favor of defendant is affirmed over plaintiff's arguments that the court improperly applied the doctrines of res judicata (claim preclusion) and collateral estoppel (issue preclusion) based on her prior unsuccessful lawsuit against the bank for breach of contract, and erred in denying her an opportunity to amend her complaint.
