Gordon v. Lancaster

JUSTICE HEARN :

**387We granted certiorari on the narrow question of whether a creditor may execute on a judgment more than ten years after its enrollment when the time period has expired during the course of litigation. Our resolution of this case requires us to revisit our decision in Linda Mc ,1 which the court of appeals broadly interpreted as extending a judgment's life beyond the statutory ten-year limit merely by filing the action within ten years.
