final judgment
Litigation's conclusive end
Final judgment is a court's conclusive decision that resolves all issues in a case, leaving nothing further for the court to decide.
Once entered, it allows the losing party to appeal and starts the clock on enforcement.
In religious contexts, final judgment refers to God's ultimate verdict on souls at the end of time: We will all face final judgment.
