Black's Law Dictionary

A decree of strict foreclosure of a mortgage finds the amount due under the mortgage, orders its payment within a certain limited time, and provides that, in default of such payment, the debtor's right and equity of redemption shall be forever barred and foreclosed; its effect is to vest the tide of the property absolutely in the mortgagee, on default in payment, without any sale of the property.
