There is a very strong policy in favor of finality of judgments. For obvious reasons. We don’t want to relitigate civil cases endlessly any more than we want to relitigate elections endlessly. That is why the grounds for R60 relief are very narrow and hard to establish. Very rare to have a judgment opened up under R60.
How is perjury addressed after the trial is long over w/o a Rule 60 filing? Who brings the perjury to the court's attention? I'm not talking about witnesses recanting evidence in criminal cases, which can be considered new evidence that allows a new appeal.
