Home Port Rentals, Inc. v. Moore

KITTREDGE, J.:

Home Port Rentals, Inc. brought this declaratory judgment action in July 2000 against Roger Moore, seeking to determine the enforceability of a March 20, 1989 judgment. The circuit court granted Moore’s motion for summary judgment, finding the judgment was more than ten years old and no longer enforceable. We affirm and hold that the ten-year enforcement period for execution on judgments as provided in S.C.Code Ann. § 15-39-30 (Supp.2003), once commenced, is absolute and not subject to tolling. Such a judgment is “utterly extinguished” ten years from the date of its entry.
