Practice point: A judgment of foreclosure and sale is final as to all questions at issue between the parties, and concludes all matters of defense which were or could have been litigated in the foreclosure action.
Student note: Under the doctrine of res judicata, a final adjudication of a claim on
the merits precludes relitigation of that claim and all claims arising
out of the same transaction or series of transactions by a party or
those in privity with a party.
