Can a Writ of Seizure and Sale to enforce a judgment that has been in effect for 20 years be renewed or issued after it has expired?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Burns v. Ontario Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, 2012 ONSC 339 (CanLII):
In the present case, the judgment remains in effect for 20 years from February 18, 2002, following Belleghem J. in Canada v. Palmer-Virgo, supra. I agree that it would seem incongruous that a judgment can remain in effect for 20 years while a Writ of Seizure and Sale to enforce it cannot be renewed or issued after it has expired even though the judgment to be enforced is still in effect.
