Full Text of Rule 1149
Plain-English Summary
This short rule routes a foreclosure judgment to its enforcement rules. Once entered, the judgment is carried out under the execution rules governing mortgage foreclosure — the writ of execution and sale of the mortgaged property.
The Official Note adds that those rules govern enforcement whether the mortgage covers an estate, a leasehold, or another interest. Pointing to them keeps foreclosure enforcement consistent across the rules.
