January 15, 20102010 Ala. LEXIS 6

Summary

The Supreme Court of Alabama reversed the trial court and remanded, holding that a judgment recorded in the probate court without a certificate of judgment does not create a lien under §§6-9-210 and -211 of the Alabama Code, and that a later‑filed certificate of judgment cannot relate back to the earlier judgment date to create a lien retroactively.
