A judgment of foreclosure and sale entered against a defendant is final as to all questions at issue between the parties, and concludes all matters of defense which were or might have been litigated in the foreclosure action. Here, the entry of the judgment of foreclosure and sale bars consideration of the issues raised by the defendant, since those issues either were raised or could have been raised during the pendency of the action.
