An Alberta Collision Judgment Leads to Payment Following Licence Suspension

A collision judgment was substantially collected after a driver’s licence suspension, followed by a request to lift the suspension and discharge of the personal property registration.

The situation

An insurer’s policyholder was involved in a multi-party motor vehicle collision. The insurer paid the claim and referred the file for recovery against the responsible drivers.

Our approach

Precision Paralegal Services filed a civil claim. When the defendants did not respond, we obtained a Certificate of Default Judgment and a Writ of Enforcement.

We registered the writ against the debtor’s personal property. When voluntary payment did not follow, we applied for a driver’s licence suspension against the responsible defendant.

The suspension prompted payment. Once the agreed terms were met, we requested that the suspension be lifted. The personal property registration was subsequently discharged.

The outcome

The default judgment was substantially collected. A request was made to lift the licence suspension after the terms were met, and the personal property registration was discharged.

What this case illustrates

In this matter, the licence suspension was followed by payment and steps to release the enforcement measures. The result illustrates the importance of tracking both the payments received and the steps needed to conclude enforcement.
