160 18 18 Statute of Limitations — Accrual in 2014 from Pohl's Own Testimony Kassab affirmative_defense Pohl testified under oath that Kassab stole his information in 2014; cause of action accrues when tortious act committed even if all damages not yet occurred; Pohl chose not to file suit immediately
161 18 18 Statute of Limitations — Discovery Rule Inapplicable Kassab affirmative_defense Pohl never pled the discovery rule, so it cannot be relied upon. Even if pled, an office break-in is not inherently undiscoverable. Wagner & Brown requires inherently undiscoverable and objectively verifiable.
162 18 18 Res Judicata — Conspiracy Establishes Privity Kassab affirmative_defense Pohl's own allegations and judicial admissions that Kassab, Favre, and Precision are co-conspirators establish privity with parties to the Federal Court Case; supported by Palaxar, Seenyur, RSM, and SED Holdings
163 18 18 Res Judicata — Same Claims in Both Actions Kassab affirmative_defense Pohl's own sworn testimony (Mot. Exhibit 1) describes the same conversion and theft of client files and trade secrets at issue in this case; Pohl sued Precision in both actions for the same conduct
164 18 18 Attorney Immunity — Law of the Case Kassab affirmative_defense The First Court of Appeals' characterization of Kassab's conduct as arising from commercial transaction involving legal services is binding law of the case; applies outside litigation context; even criminal conduct not categorically excepted
