51 Minn. 221 | Minn. | 1892
This is an action for the recovery of real property. A first trial resulted in a judgment for the plaintiff. As permitted by the statute, the defendant availed himself of the right to have another trial. The second trial resulted in a verdict and judgment for the defendant. The plaintiff then asserted the right by statute to have still another trial. This was denied. The question here is, was the plaintiff, against whom judgment has been only once ■recovered, entitled to a third trial ? This must be answered in the negative.
Since the abolition of the fictions attending the common-law action of ejectment, and the adoption of the practice of requiring all actions to be prosecuted in the names of the real parties in interest, and upon real, and not fictitious, issues, judgments in actions for the recovery of real property have come to be conclusive as to the issues involved, as they are in other actions, except where the statute declares otherwise. Doyle v. Hallam, 21 Minn. 515. Our
Order affirmed.
