Practice question
In a separate proceeding, a party attacks a prior judgment solely because it disagrees with the competent court’s contract interpretation. No jurisdictional nullity is established. Which is best?
- Mere interpretation error does not itself justify treating the judgment as void on collateral attack
- Every wrong interpretation permits collateral relitigation
- A new case automatically annuls the prior judgment
- The losing party may ignore finality at will
- The prior judge’s reasoning is irrelevant to every remedy
