It is almost trite to say that execution is the fruit and end of the suit and is the life of the law.[58] A judgment, if left unexecuted, would be nothing but an empty victory for the prevailing party.[59] Litigation must end sometime and somewhere. An effective and efficient administration of justice requires that once a judgment has become final, the winning party be not deprived of the fruits of the verdict. Courts must, therefore, guard against any scheme calculated to bring about that result. Constituted as they are to put an end to controversies, courts should frown upon any attempt to prolong them.[60] | |||||
