enforcement of judgment
Enforcement of judgment refers to the legal process that ensures a court's decision is carried out after a plaintiff wins a case. Once a judgment is made—like awarding a sum of money—the winning party must take steps to collect it if the losing party doesn’t pay voluntarily. This can involve tactics like garnishing wages, seizing bank accounts, or placing liens on property. Courts often provide mechanisms to enforce judgments, ensuring that justice is upheld and the winning party receives what they are owed as per the court’s ruling.
