Dilip Bhana v. Amrut Patel

Summary

The Court held that a judgment entered by the chancery court was not renewed when the creditor filed a notice of renewal with the circuit clerk rather than with the clerk of the court that rendered the judgment. The judgment therefore expired, and the debtor's motion to dismiss was properly supported by the statute of limitations. The Court also held that the debtor did not waive that defense because his delay was neither substantial nor unreasonable and his participation before filing the motion was minimal.
