Plain-English Summary
This short rule routes an ejectment judgment to the right enforcement machinery. Once judgment is entered, it is carried out under the rules on enforcing judgments for possession — the writ of possession and the related steps in the execution chapter.
By pointing to those rules rather than duplicating them, the ejectment chapter keeps the method of getting the winning party into possession consistent with how possession judgments are enforced across the rules.
