Enforcement of Judgments

A judgment is the official decision of a court in a lawsuit, and if one party does not comply with the judgment issued, the other party can seek relief. When a court has made its judgment in a civil case – such as bankruptcy proceedings – and decided in your favor, you may want to ask the court to enforce the order. This is the enforcement of judgments by obtaining a third party debt order, charging order, attachment of earnings order, or even a warrant of execution. The third party debt order will freeze the defendant’s bank assets, while the charging order ensures recovery of your money through the sale of the defendant’s home. An attachment of earnings will stop money from being paid to the defendant by way of wages. A warrant of execution is the last resort, under which the court will send a bailiff to collect you money. If the other party involved in your debt recovery lawsuit does not pay you even after the court’s judgment, you should consult a legal expert to approach the court, and that is where Legal Compare can assist you.
