- a writ of possession;
- a writ of sequestration of immovable property;
- an order to the judgment debtor to make monthly payments over the judgment debt;
- the commencement of bankruptcy or liquidation proceedings (although strictly speaking this is not an enforcement method); or

Answer ... Foreign judgments may potentially be enforced against third parties, subject to the confines of the enforcement methods described in question 7.1. One such method is through garnishee proceedings (governed by Section 73 of the Civil Procedure Law (Cap 6)), whereby the judgment creditor may enforce against money due and owing to the judgment debtor by a third party which is within the jurisdiction. This can include money held in the judgment debtor’s name in a bank or payment institution.
