Outcome

Circuit court's dismissal of plaintiff's tort damages complaint under res judicata was reversed and remanded. The appellate court found that the temporary domestic abuse protection order from justice court was not a final judgment on the merits, and therefore res judicata did not bar plaintiff's subsequent civil damages action.
