...For whatever policy reasons, the Florida Legislature has limited the ability to bring an action on a federal judgment in Florida to five years, and therefore, this Court must abide by that. The Writ of Garnishment must be quashed as to Barnett Bank of Central Florida. The Court does note that pursuant to Fla. Stat. § 55.081, the judgment may still act as a lien on real or personal property for 20 years, subject to the judgment being recorded in Florida, and subject to the provisions of Fla.Stat....

...Some courts have suggested that a policy reason for excluding judgments from the tolling provisions is that otherwise title examiners would never know from the face of the record whether a judgment lien remained viable. E. g., Giordano v. Wolcott, 46 N.J.Super. 278 , 134 A.2d 593 (1957). In view of section 55.081, Florida Statutes (1979), this may not be as significant a consideration in Florida.
