After the trial, the court may have
ordered
one party to pay money to the other
party.
The party who wins the case and is
owed the
money is called the Judgment Creditor.
The
party who loses the case and owes the
money
is called the Judgment Debtor.
Enforcement of the judgment is postponed
until after the time for appeal ends
or until
after the appeal is decided if one
is filed.
This means that the judgment creditor
cannot
collect any money or take any action
until
after this period is over. Generally,
both
parties may be represented by lawyers
after
judgment and on appeal.
More information about your rights
after
judgment is available on the back of
the
Notice of Entry of Judgment form. The
clerk
may also have this information on a
separate
sheet.
