Revival of judgment lien, which must be done within seven years of original judgment, has no effect until lienholder files its memorandum of order of revival. Section 12-101 of Code of Civil Procedure is a statute in derogation of common law, which requires strict compliance by a judgment creditor asserting lien against a person's real property. (McDADE, concurring; LYTTON, specially concurring.)
