When you register a judgment, it has the same power as a judgment made by the High Court. This means you can use it in the same way to get what you are owed. You can take the same steps to make sure the judgment is enforced.
The rules about what a registered judgment can do are affected by what is said in sections 589 and 590. These sections can change how a registered judgment works. You can find more information about this by looking at sections 589 and 590.
