Question
I have no debts except for one that was subject to a religious court ruling, and the court issued a decision. Is it necessary to perform a Prozbul?
Answer
If the lender holds a court ruling that the borrower is obligated, the Shemitah does not cancel the debt, and this is specifically if the ruling was written by a court of three. However, if it was written by a single arbitrator, the Shemitah cancels the debt.
