Section 747. Judgment  


Latest version.
  • 1. The court shall direct that a final judgment be
      entered determining the rights of the parties. The judgment shall  award
      to the successful party the costs of the special proceeding.
        2.  The  judgment shall not bar an action to recover the possession of
      real property. The judgment shall  not  bar  an  action,  proceeding  or
      counterclaim,  commenced or interposed within sixty days of entry of the
      judgment, for affirmative equitable  relief  which  was  not  sought  by
      counterclaim  in  the  proceeding because of the limited jurisdiction of
      the court.
        3. If the proceeding is founded upon an allegation of  forcible  entry
      or  forcible  holding  out the court may award to the successful party a
      fixed sum as costs, not exceeding fifty  dollars,  in  addition  to  his
      disbursements.
        4.  The  judgment,  including  such  money as it may award for rent or
      otherwise, may be docketed in such books  as  the  court  maintains  for
      recording the steps in a summary proceeding; unless a rule of the court,
      or the court by order in a given case, otherwise provides, such judgment
      need not be recorded or docketed in the books, if separately maintained,
      in which are docketed money judgments in an action.
