Practice question
A judgment is final after ordinary review was not pursued. The losing party points only to an allegedly incorrect factual inference, with no jurisdictional defect, fraud or recognized finality exception. It demands treatment as a void judgment. What is the central flaw?
- Every factual mistake is necessarily void
- An ordinary merits error does not by itself make the judgment jurisdictionally void
- Finality can never attach to a disputed finding
- Only correct judgments become final
- A litigant may nullify a judgment by assertion
