What do individuals seek when they wish to enforce a judgment?

When individuals wish to enforce a judgment, they typically seek a writ of execution. A writ of execution is a legal order issued by a court that authorizes the enforcement of a judgment, allowing the successful party to take specific actions to ensure compliance with the court's verdict. This may include seizing the debtor's property, garnishing wages, or other actions necessary to fulfill the judgment obligations.

The other options, while related to legal processes, do not serve the same purpose. A lawsuit refers to the broader process of initiating a legal claim against another party, which may ultimately lead to a judgment but does not enforce it. The right of redemption typically pertains to a debtor's ability to reclaim property lost due to foreclosure or tax lien after a judgment but is not a direct enforcement mechanism. A notice of completion is related to the completion of a construction project and does not apply to the enforcement of judgments. Thus, the writ of execution is the correct tool employed to enforce a judgment effectively.
