Relevance of prior judgments is confined to cases where their existence is directly in issue or independently relevant.
Judgments, orders and decrees outside sections 40, 41 and 42 are generally irrelevant unless their existence is a fact in issue or they are independently relevant under another provision. A prior adjudication involving other parties ordinarily cannot establish disputed facts in later proceedings. It may, however, be relevant to show motive, while a previous conviction is relevant when it is itself a fact in issue.
