Issue estoppel and res judicata do not apply in criminal law

R. v. M.B., 2010 ONCA 846 is a good source for the above noted principle:

"That holding was legally wrong because the principles of issue estoppel and res judicata do not apply in criminal law. See R. v. Mahalingan, 2008 237 C.C.C. (3d) 417 SCC paras. 56-59."
