Simple English definitions for legal terms
A quick definition of dormant judgment:
A dormant judgment is a court decision that has not been enforced within a certain time limit. This means that any legal claim to the judgment may have been lost, and the creditor must revive the judgment before they can take any action to enforce it. It is important to note that a dormant judgment is not the same as a
void judgment, which has no
legal force or effect.

court order that has not been enforced within the time limit set by law. This means that any

judgment creditor first revives the judgment.
