Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California

Surcharge and judgments

If a court issues a surcharge, Is that the same as a judgment? and. if there was never

an entry of order of judgment filed with the court clerk, can someone still file an abstract of judgment?

Re: Surcharge and judgments

An Abstract Judgment is an out-of-state judgment that is being filed in another state. In order to file for an Abstract Judgment there has to be a judgment that it is based on. So no you can not have an Abstract Judgment without an original judgment. If you have questions about getting a judgment or filing an Abstract Judgment please feel free to contact my office at 877-546-9918. The call and consultation are free.

Sincerely,
