Vacation of Judgment
If the original judgment is vacated after it was recorded as a “DJ” (docketed judgment) in the Office of the Clerk of the Superior Court, the “DJ” record gets vacated as well. When an order is signed vacating the original judgment a copy of the order will be sent to the Superior Court Clerk’s Judgment Unit and the “DJ” will be vacated.
h. Workers’ Compensation Judgments
Certified copies of workers’ compensation judgments against uninsured defendants should be filed directly with the Superior Court Clerk’s Office in Trenton and the filing fee is $35. Where the workers’ compensation judgment is against an insured
respondent, a certified copy of the judgment is f iled in the county in which the hearing was held. See N.J.S.A. 34:15-58. There is no filing fee.
Workers’ compensation judgments are not assigned a “DJ” number until the transcript is forwarded to the Judgment Unit of the Superior Court Clerk’s Office. Upon request, the Deputy Clerk of the county will prepare and issue a transcript of judgment to the person requesting the docketing. The Deputy Clerk signs the transcript and there is a $10 issuance fee, payable to Treasurer, State of New Jersey.
The person requesting the docketing is to complete the certification of amount due and submit the transcript to the Superior Court Clerk’s Office for notation in the statewide judgment system.
The filing fee for docketing the transcript with the Superior Court is $35, payable to Treasurer, State of New Jersey. The mailing address is:
Superior Court of New Jersey
Office of the Clerk
P.O. Box 971
Trenton, NJ 08625.
A copy of the transcript of judgment reflecting the assigned judgment number and date of entry in the statewide judgment system will be returned to the sender if an additional copy and a self- addressed, stamped envelope are provided.
