A judgment in South Africa confirms the debt and carries significant consequences for the debtor’s credit record, but without enforcement it remains little more than paper. The law provides a suite of mechanisms — from writs of execution to garnishee orders and sequestration — to turn a judgment into real recovery.
Once a debt prescribes, the creditor loses the right to sue for it. But prescription is not automatic: if the debtor does not raise it as a defence, the court may still grant judgment. That is why both creditors and debtors need to understand exactly how long it takes for debt to prescribe, what interrupts the clock, and what rights remain once time has run out.
