Re: An Abstract Of Judgement
An abstract of judgment is an official court document which is a concise compendium of
the key facts concerning the judgment which was rendered by the court in favor of the judgment creditor, and which in the general district court will normally be valid for a period of at least 10 years.
Such abstracts of judgment are quite often recorded in the judgment lien book of the circuit court in the locality where the judgment was originally ibtained.
