DELAWARE STATE SENATE

145th GENERAL ASSEMBLY

SENATE BILL NO. 220

AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 10 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO EXECUTION OF A CHATTEL JUDGMENT.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE:

Section 1.Amend Section 9552 of Title 10 of the Delaware Code by striking the number "2" after "than" and before "years" and inserting the number "3" in lieu thereof.

SYNOPSIS

This Bill Makes §9552 of Title 10, relating to Justice of the Peace Court civil judgment execution procedures, consistent with similar provisions applicable to Superior Court execution found in §5081 of the same title.Under this provision goods levied upon for the purpose of conducting a sale to satisfy all or part of a civil judgment remain available for three years.The duration of the lien or levy on chattel goods should be consistent in both the Justice of the Peace Court and Superior Court because the life of a money judgment is 5 years in both Courts.
