So I'm starting the collection process on a case I won back in March '19. I'm preparing information subpoenas and getting everything together but looking ahead, I think I might be eligible to motion for treble damages on my judgement because the debtor has a few outstanding judgements on file with the county clerk. My questions are regarding this eligibility:
Is there a statute of limitations against the amount of time a judgement has been outstanding? For example, if the creditor motions for Treble Damages on a case litigated in 2019, can a case from 2011 (still with outstanding judgement) be referenced to satisfy the requirements for Treble Damages?
Additionally, do all 3 (or more) cases need to be of a similar nature? For example, if the creditor is motioning for Treble Damages on a case dealing with employee negligence, can a case related to state taxes (still with outstanding judgement) be referenced to satisfy the requirements for Treble Damages?
Thanks for anyone's help on this!
