Plain-English Summary
This rule spares a creditor from running a separate revival on every judgment it holds against the same debtor in the same county. The creditor consolidates them with a single praecipe for one consolidated writ of revival, or a single agreement to enter and revive a consolidated judgment.
The praecipe or agreement lists the court, docket number, and amount due on each judgment. The consolidated judgment is entered under one of the original docket numbers for the combined total, and a cross-note is placed on each original docket. As the Official Note records, consolidation does not change the lien priority each judgment already had.
Frequently Asked Questions
