What is the name of your state? Maine

Within the state statute for Small Claims actions, under the heading PARTICULAR PROCEEDINGS, it states:

§7485. Effect of judgment
Any fact found or issue adjudicated in a proceeding under this chapter, may not be deemed found or adjudicated for the purpose of any other cause of action. The judgment obtained shall be res judicata as to the amount in controversy. The only recourse from an adverse decision shall be by appeal.

Can anyone tell me what the means? I understand the last sentence.

Thank you.
