An appellate court's resolution of an issue on a prior appeal constitutes the law of the case and is binding on the Supreme Court, as well as on the appellate court. The doctrine of the law of the case operates to foreclose re-examination of the issue absent a showing of new factual circumstances, additional relevant evidence, or a change in the law that would warrant reconsideration of the issue.
