(a) Whenever a defendant in any judgment described under § 9544 or § 9545 of this title has obtained a stay of execution under the provisions of either of such sections, the plaintiff or plaintiffs in such judgment, may file a duly certified transcript of the docket entries of the judgment, with the prothonotary of the Superior Court, in the county where such judgment was given, and the prothonotary shall enter in the prothonotary’s judgment docket, the names of the parties, the amount of the judgment, and by what Justice of the Peace Court rendered, the time from which interest runs and the amount of the costs, with the true date of such filing and entry.
(b) A judgment transferred under the provisions of this section shall from that date become and be a lien on all the real estate of the defendants, as well as of the sureties, in the county, in the same manner and as fully as judgments rendered in the Superior Court are liens, and may, after the expiration of the stay of execution, be executed and enforced in the same way as judgments of the Court. If any such judgment is lawfully assigned to a joint debtor or surety, the assignee shall have the benefit of this section.
