What is a post-judgment discovery?
Post-judgment discovery is a legal procedure that allows creditors in Oregon to obtain information from a debtor after the court has issued a judgment. It is a way for creditors to enforce their rights after a court has already ruled in their favor. Post-judgment discovery is based on the concept of fairness, as it allows creditors to find out and take measures to collect on a court-ordered debt. Without post-judgment discovery, creditors may not be able to leverage their court victory into actual payments from the debtor. Post-judgment discovery can take different forms. It can involve a creditor requesting documents or information from the debtor. It can also be a request for interrogatories, which are written questions that the debtor must answer under oath. It can include requests to the debtor to appear in court, or orders for the debtor to turn over property or assets to the creditor. Post-judgment discovery is an important part of creditors’ rights law in Oregon. It enables creditors to find out more information about their debtors and take the necessary steps to collect on their debt.
