CONT: Once the mortgagor has made default in payment of the mortgage debt, the mortgagee is entitled to pursue any or all of his remedies ... Hence the mortgagee can at the same time sue for payment on the covenant to pay principal and interest, for possession of the mortgaged estate, and for foreclosure ... If the mortgagee realises part of the debt by his action on the covenant, or by sale of part of the property, he must give credit in the foreclosure action for the amount realised, and if, after foreclosure, he proceeds on the covenant, he re-opens the foreclosure.
OBS: action on the covenant: Not to be confused with ""action of covenant,"" which consisted in a claim for damages arising from the breach of a promise made under seal, prior to the Judicature Acts (1873-1875).
