A quick definition of arrest on final process:
Arrest on final process: This means when someone is taken into custody by legal authority after a trial has ended. It can happen in a civil case, which is when people sue each other, or a criminal case, which is when someone is accused of breaking the law. It's different from an arrest before a trial, which is called an arrest on mesne process. A lawful arrest happens when the police have a good reason to believe someone committed a crime, while an unlawful arrest is when they don't have a good reason.
A more thorough explanation:
Definition: Arrest on final process refers to the arrest of a person after a trial has concluded in a civil case. It is also known as arrest in execution.
Example: John was found guilty in a civil case and a judgment was made against him. However, he failed to pay the judgment amount. As a result, the court issued a warrant for his arrest on final process, and he was taken into custody by the authorities.
This example illustrates how arrest on final process is used to enforce a court's judgment in a civil case. Once a judgment has been made, the court can order the arrest of the defendant if they fail to comply with the judgment.
