HENDERSON, Justice.
This is an appeal by Steven J. Zellmer, Secretary of Revenue of the State of South Dakota (appellant), from an order of the trial court requiring appellant to reimburse Cletus Schmidt, d/b/a Skipper's Bar (appellee), for payment of an alleged sales tax overassessment. Appellant contends the trial court erred in not barring appellee's suit on grounds of res judicata. We agree and reverse.
During September of 1973, the South Dakota Department of Revenue audited appellee for the period of July 1970 through March 1973. As a result of this audit, a hearing before the Deputy Secretary of Revenue was conducted on December 29, 1975, to determine the sales tax liability, if any, of appellee. Notice of this hearing was received by appellee on December 4, 1975. Appellee did not appear at this hearing, nor was he represented thereat by counsel. As a result of said hearing, on January 14, 1976, appellee was ordered to pay appellant $6,179.97 for back sales tax and interest thereon. This was based on the absence of records kept by appellee and the Revenue Department's reconstruction of appellee's gross receipts.
Appellee then received notice on July 2, 1976, of a hearing to be held for the purpose of revoking his sales tax license due to his failure to comply with the administrative order of January 14, 1976. This incited appellee's attention as he immediately filed with the Secretary of Revenue a petition for rehearing on the sales tax liability established by the order of January 14, 1976. This petition was subsequently denied. On July 8, 1976, a hearing before the Secretary of Revenue resulted in the Secretary finding that the order of January 14, 1976, had not been complied with; hence, appellee's sales tax license was revoked by order dated July 13, 1976.
On August 6, 1976, an appeal was taken by appellee from: the order of January 14, 1976; the denial of appellee's...
