judgment enforcement
Judgment enforcement is the legal process used to ensure that a court's decision, known as a judgment, is carried out. When a person or entity wins a lawsuit and is awarded money or other remedies, the losing party must comply with the court's order. If they fail to do so voluntarily, the winning party can take further legal steps to collect what is owed.
Methods of judgment enforcement can include wage garnishment, where a portion of the losing party's earnings is deducted to pay the debt, or property liens, which place a claim on the losing party's assets. These actions help the winning party recover their awarded amount effectively.
