Williams, J.
(concurring)—I join in affirming the order denying Wise's motion for attorney fees. A judgment contains the final word upon all points in issue between the parties and all points which might properly have been raised and adjudicated in the action. Munro v. Irwin, 163 Wash. 452, 1 P.2d 329 (1931). Not only could the question of attorney fees have been raised in this case, it was and an amount therefor entered in the judgment. Now, Wise, as successor in interest to the judgment creditor, is attempting to open the judgment and relitigate the attorney fee issue. He can't do that; there must be finality to judgments.
