Everything about Hansberry V Lee totally explained
Hansberry v. Lee,, is a famous case now usually known in
civil procedure for teaching that
res judicata may not bind a subsequent plaintiff who had no opportunity to be represented in the earlier
civil action. The facts of the case dealt with a racially
restrictive covenant amongst members of a class, which would have called for excluding
Carl Hansberry, the father of author
Lorraine Hansberry. The defendants asserted that since Hansberry was a
class member, he should be bound by the prior decision. Justice
Harlan Fiske Stone held that since he didn't have an opportunity to be heard, enforcing that racial covenant would deny him his
due process rights guaranteed by the
Fourteenth Amendment.
Later, the type of real property restriction, racially
restrictive covenants, was held by
Shelley v. Kraemer,, to be
state action because the plaintiffs seeking to enforce such a covenant were invoking the machinery of the state.
