Is double jeopardy applied in small claims?

Yeah it’s estoppel, whether it be collateral estoppel or any other estoppel, it is estoppel, although estoppel and double jeopardy are synonymous. In civil matter, it’s called “res judicata”. That’s civil double jeopardy. A case dismissed with prejudice or found that the defendant is liable will result in res judicata.
