litigated

litigated
Subjected to litigation. Facts, matters, or questions are said to have been litigated when they have formed the subject matter of litigation. Only those facts are said to have been "litigated" in an action which were necessarily within the issue presented and without proof of which the judgment rendered in the action could not have been rendered. Eastman v Symonds, 108 Mass 567, 569.
