The party in whose favor judgment is given may, at any time within five years after the entry thereof, have a writ of execution issued for its enforcement. If, after the entry of the judgment, the issuing of execution thereon is stayed or enjoined by any judgment or order of Court, or by operation of law, the time during which it is so stayed or enjoined must be excluded from the computation of the five years within which execution may issue.
