Final judgment
The last decision from a court that resolves all issues in dispute and settles the parties' rights with respect to those issues. A final judgment leaves nothing except decisions on how to enforce the judgment, whether to award costs, and whether to file an appeal.
Definition from Nolo’s Plain-English Law Dictionary
