Presented in cooperation with the NJSBA Certified Attorneys Section
The end of a trial is often the beginning of the next phase of representing your client. That next phase might be collecting a final judgment for your client. And when the trial court awards several million dollars to your client plus punitive damages it can be a long road to the finish line.
The recent experience of some of the participants representing the plaintiff in a lengthy bench trial resulting in a substantial compensatory and punitive damages award, and almost three years of ongoing and ultimately successful collection efforts, provides an appropriate introduction to the subject of the program. The judgment debtor in that case unsuccessfully sought to obtain a stay of the judgment without posting a sufficient bond, leading to a variety of post-judgment activity.
Join us as we address topics and questions such as:
- What discovery devices are available with respect to post-judgment collection efforts?
- What assets are available to an executing judgment creditor and how can they be reached?
- Are stays of execution automatic upon posting of a surety bond?
- What factors are considered in determining the ability of a judgment debtor to obtain a surety bond?
A number of the issues raised in this program are currently newsworthy in connection with pending judgments against the former President of the United States. The program, however, is not geared to or based upon those cases, but rather should be attractive to attorneys handling sizeable business litigation matters, personal injury matters, and other cases that may yield a substantial judgment.
Make plans to hear from those with experience and join us on Zoom on May 30!
