(1)In case of a judgment, decree or order against a specific thing or in respectto the probate of a will or the administration of the estate of a deceasedperson or in respect to the personal, political, or legal condition or relationof a particular person, the judgment, decree or order is conclusive upon thetitle to the thing, the will or administration, or the condition or relation ofthe person.
(2)In other cases, the judgment, decree or order is, in respect to the matterdirectly determined, conclusive between the parties, their representatives andtheir successors in interest by title subsequent to the commencement of theaction, suit or proceeding, litigating for the same thing, under the same titleand in the same capacity.
43.140Judicial orders that create a disputable presumption. A judicialorder, other than a judgment, decree or final order, in an action, suit orproceeding before a court or judge of this state or of the United Statescreates a disputable presumption concerning the matter directly determinedbetween the same parties, their representatives and their successors ininterest by title subsequent to the commencement of the action, suit orproceeding, litigating for the same thing, under the same title and in the samecapacity.
43.150When parties the same. The parties are the same when those between whomthe evidence is offered were adverse in the former case, and a judgment, decreeor other determination could have been made between them alone, though otherparties were joined.

43.170Effect on principal of judgment against surety. Whenever,pursuant to ORS 43.130 to 43.160, a party is bound by a record, and stands inthe relation of surety for another, the latter is also bound from the time thatthe latter has notice of the action, suit or proceeding and a request from thesurety to defend against it.
43.180Effect of judicial record of other jurisdictions. The effect of ajudicial record of a sister state, the District of Columbia or a territory ofthe United States is the same in this state as in the place where it was made,except:
(1)It can be enforced in this state only by an action, suit or proceeding; and
(2)The authority of a guardian, conservator, committee, executor or administratordoes not extend beyond the jurisdiction of the government under which theguardian, conservator, committee, executor or administrator is invested withauthority. [Amended by 1973 c.823 §90; 2005 c.22 §33]

43.220Impeachment of judicial record. Any judicial record may be impeachedand the presumption arising therefrom overcome by evidence of a want ofjurisdiction, collusion between the parties, or fraud in the party offering therecord.
