Book Description

Excerpt from A Treatise on the Law of Judgments, Vol. 2 of 2: Including All Final Determinations of the Rights of Parties in Actions or Proceedings at Law or in Equity If, when a judgment is entered, no one other than the parties thereto is affected by it, the fact that a third per son becomes subsequently interested will not entitle him to impeach it, unless it was entered for the purpose of hindering, delaying, and defrauding creditors subsequent as well as antecedent, and he is one of such creditors. The mere fact that he becomes a creditor of the defend ant after a judgment was entered will not enable him to impeach it, if it was not suffered in view of his becoming such creditor.' A grantee of land which' is subject to a judgment lien cannot attack the judgment on any ground not open to the defendant.' A creditor or purchaser from the judgment debtor cannot impeach a judgment except Upon the same facts which would entitle him to impeach a deed made by the debtor at the same time and for the same purpose. If a judgment is good as between the par ties, it is also good against their creditors, unless it might have Operated to defraud them when it was rendered; and though fraud was practiced Upon the defendant, this will not enable the creditors or other parties claiming under him to impeach the judgment, unless it was also a fraud upon them.'
