continuing-jurisdiction doctrine

A quick definition of continuing-jurisdiction doctrine:

The continuing-jurisdiction doctrine is a rule that says a court can still make someone follow a judgment even if they can't be sued again.

A more thorough explanation:

The continuing-jurisdiction doctrine is a legal rule that allows a court to maintain power over a party even after the party is no longer subject to a new action. This means that a court can still enforce a judgment against a party even if they are no longer involved in the case.

For example, let's say that a court issues a judgment against a defendant in a civil lawsuit. The defendant pays the judgment and the case is closed. However, if the defendant fails to comply with the terms of the judgment, the court can still enforce it under the continuing-jurisdiction doctrine.

Another example is in family law cases. A court may issue a child custody order that remains in effect until the child reaches a certain age or until the court modifies the order. Even if one of the parents moves to a different state, the court can still enforce the custody order under the continuing-jurisdiction doctrine.

These examples illustrate how the continuing-jurisdiction doctrine allows a court to maintain control over a party even after the case has been resolved. It ensures that court orders are followed and justice is served.

There’s someone I found on here with the username threeoutchange and if my understanding is correct that’s a reference to the debut album by a pretty cool 90s-00s Japanese band called Supercar. I geeked a little
