<p>A multi-fold argument is one that has multiple independent grounds upon which a decision can be reached.</p>
<p>The distinction between such arguments and arguments based upon a single ground is important in the doctrine of collateral estoppel because it impacts which basis of a court decision can be considered judicially determined in a later lawsuit involving some of the same parties.</p>
