Plain-English Summary
This short rule routes a replevin judgment to its enforcement rules. Once entered, the judgment is carried out under the execution rules that govern replevin — recovering the property by writ of possession, or its value, or proceeding on the bond.
By pointing to those rules rather than restating them, the chapter keeps enforcement of replevin judgments consistent with how the execution chapter handles them.
