Corzo Trucking Corp. v. West

Phipps, Judge.

In 1985, Corzo Trucking Corporation obtained a default money judgment against Robert West in a Florida court. In 2001, Corzo filed the judgment in the State Court of Cobb County under the Uniform Enforcement of Foreign Judgments Law (UEFJL). On motion by West, the state court found enforcement of the judgment time-barred under Georgia law. Corzo appeals, arguing that time limitations for enforcement of judgments in Georgia should begin to run from the date of the filing of the judgment in Georgia. Under the circumstances of this case, we disagree and affirm.
