Plain-English Summary
After the improvements, waste, and rents and profits have all been valued, this section tells the court what to do with the numbers. If the jurors report an excess owed to the plaintiff -- meaning the rents, profits, and waste outweigh the value of the improvements -- the court enters judgment for that excess without requiring separate pleadings, and issues execution on it just like any other judgment.
Either way, whether the plaintiff recovers an excess or the jurors report none, the plaintiff is barred afterward from bringing or maintaining any separate action for mesne profits. This proceeding settles that question once and for all.
