Upon delivery of a Judgement, the judgement debtor, the losing party, has the option of appeal or comply with the decision of the court. Similarly, upon the delivery of judgment, the judgement creditor – the winning party – has to draw up an Entry of Judgement and serve it on the judgement debtor personally for the judgement to be enforceable.  

The Entry of Judgement drawn must contain all the relevant enforceable orders of the court. Within seven days, from the date of the service of the entry of judgement, the judgement debtor has to take practical steps to comply with the order of the court or undertake other legal steps to avoid execution or enforcement of the judgement.

After the service of the entry of Judgement on the Judgement Debtor, Judgment Creditor will be at the liberty to start execution processes to enforce the judgment of the court.
