Post Judgment Oral Examination of a Judgment Debtor

Written by Raymond McKenzie on October 29th, 2018

Following up on my earlier blog posts that included post-judgment interrogatories and requests for documents, a judgment holder can also request that the debtor appear before a court-appointed examiner and answer questions under oath from the judgment holder’s counsel.  Failure of the Debtor to appear for the exam or answer the questions truthfully could lead to imprisonment of the Debtor.

Here is a sample of some of the questions I ask in an oral examination:
