29 U.S.C. § 466 — Additional rights and remedies; exclusive jurisdiction of district court; res judicata
submitted 67 years ago by Pub. L. 86-257 to r/title-29-LABOR · 57 words · no verdicts yet
This subchapter's rights and remedies add to any other legal rights available. Once the Secretary files a complaint, only the district court can handle that trusteeship case. The court's final judgment is binding and can't be relitigated (res judicata).
This section is a single, undivided provision. The rights and remedies this subchapter provides are added on top of any other rights and remedies available under law or in equity — they don't replace those other options. However, once the Secretary files a complaint, the district court's power over that trusteeship case becomes exclusive — no other court can handle it. The court's final judgment is treated as "res judicata," meaning the matter is settled and cannot be litigated again.
The rights and remedies provided by this subchapter shall be in addition to any and all other rights and remedies at law or in equity: Provided, That upon the filing of a complaint by the Secretary the jurisdiction of the district court over such trusteeship shall be exclusive and the final judgment shall be res judicata.
