Res judicata “makes a valid, final judgment conclusive on the parties and their privies, and bars further litigation of all matters that were or should have been adjudicated in the action.” Jarosz v. Palmer, 436 Mass. 526, 531 n.3 (2002) (citations omitted). Res judicata embodies both collateral estoppel and claim preclusion and applies if (1) the party against whom estoppel is asserted was a party (or in privity with a party) in the prior adjudication; (2) the issue or cause of action in the prior adjudication is identical to that in the current adjudication; and (3) there was a final judgment on the merits in the prior adjudication. TLT Constr. Corp. v. A. Anthony Tappe andAssocs., Inc., 48 Mass.App.Ct. 1, 5 (1999) (citations omitted).
