Notes

Allows a judgment creditor to serve written interrogatories seeking information to enforce a money judgment, with responses governed by ordinary civil interrogatory rules. Interrogatories may not be served within 120 days after the debtor answered prior enforcement interrogatories or was examined, and need not be answered if served then; numerical limits apply separately to each set, not cumulatively.
