Description

HOWE, Justice: In this quiet title action, defendant Utah Department of Transportation moved for and was granted summary judgment in the trial court on the basis that a judgment in a prior action collaterally estopped plaintiffs from bringing this action. Plaintiffs appeal, claiming that the prior action does not bind them since they were neither party nor privy to it. At a Davis County tax sale in 1969, plaintiff Ronald L. Baxter, together with Ronald Toone and Thomas Hollberg (owner of plaintiff Rio Vista Oil), purchased an 18-acre tract of land from defendant Davis County. The deed was issued to the three purchasers as tenants in common. In 1970, they split the 18 acres by quitclaiming to each other, so as to give each of them full ownership of a 6-acre parcel. The entire 18 acres lie north of the present course of the Weber River, which ostensibly marks the south boundary of Weber County and the north boundary of Davis County.
