Any right, fact, or matter in issue directly passed upon or necessarily involved in a decision of a deputy, a hearing officer, the industrial claim appeals office, or the court of appeals which has become a final decision under this article, after appeal procedures, if initiated, have been completed or otherwise terminated, shall be conclusive for all the purposes of articles 70 to 82 of this title as between all interested parties. No finding of fact or law, judgment, conclusion, or final order made with respect to a determination made under articles 70 to 82 of this title may be conclusive or binding or used as evidence in any separate or subsequent action or proceeding in another forum, except proceedings under articles 70 to 82 of this title, regardless of whether the prior action was between the same or related parties or involved the same facts. No findings of fact or law, judgment, conclusion, or final order made by any other agency, administrative body, or forum that are not made pursuant to articles 70 to 82 of this title shall be binding on the division for the purposes of articles 70 to 82 of this title.
