Hi,

Can anyone tell me what the rules are regarding the lapsing of small claims judgements in Ontario, Canada? I received a judgement against someone in 1987. They disappeared shortly thereafter and have just now resurfaced. Can I enforce the judgement now?

Thanks in advance!

Ontario's Limitations Act was amended January 1, 2005. Before that time we believe that judgments remained enforceable for 20 years.
