1. “Whether an administrative decision is res judicata depends upon its nature; decisions that are “judicial” or “quasi-judicial” can have that effect, decisions that are simply “administrative” or “legislative” do not. Though the distinction between a “quasi-judicial” determination and a purely “administrative” decision is not precisely defined, the courts have consistently found decisions to be quasi-judicial when the administrative body adequately notifies and hears before sanctioning, and when it adequately provides in the legislative authority for the proceeding’s finality and review.”
