Where a party to a judgment fails to assert any right available to that party with respect to the validity of a notice of judgment or of enforcement proceedings, and failure to do so prejudices the rights of any other party or of any person interested in any property seized or available to be seized pursuant to enforcement, the other party or interested party may assert the right for the protection of his or her own interest.
