Renwick v. State, Board of Marine Pilots ( 1999 )

BRYNER, Justice,

concurring.

.1 am not convinced that the res judicata analysis in Part IV. A. of the court’s opinion is sound. But I am persuaded that given the procedural confusion stemming from the superior court’s refusal to consolidate Ren-wick’s declaratory judgment action with his administrative appeal, it would be fundamentally unfair to invoke res judicata as a bar to his declaratory judgment action, even if the doctrine might otherwise apply. Accordingly, I concur in the result reached in Part IV.A., and I join in the balance of the opinion.

BRYNER, J., concurs.
