112 Effect of judgment and writ of execution on land

(cf Act No 8 1901, section 13)

(1) A writ of execution against land binds the land, as from the time the writ is delivered to the Sheriff, in the same way as a writ of execution against goods binds the property in the goods.

(2) Despite subsection (1), a writ of execution does not affect the title to land acquired by a person in good faith and for valuable consideration unless, when the person acquires title, he or she has notice that such a writ has been delivered to the Sheriff and remains unexecuted.

(3) A judgment in any action at law does not of itself bind or affect any land.
