Plain-English Summary
Section 25-21,120 closes out the trial-level mechanics of the quiet title article by folding the case into familiar procedure. The court tries the cause in like manner as other equitable actions, applying the same approach it would use for any suit in equity rather than a distinct quiet title procedure.
From there, the court enters whatever orders and decrees the parties are entitled to based on the evidence and the law. And when the case is over, the losing side is not left without recourse: appeals from final orders may be had as in other actions, tying the appellate path back to the ordinary rules that govern civil appeals generally.
