Warrant of Satisfaction
Rule 4:48- 1 requires the party in whose favor the judgment is entered to provide a warrant of satisfaction. See N.J.S.A. 2A: 16- 46. The judgment creditor should submit a warrant of satisfaction to the court when the judgment debtor has paid a judgment in full or to the judgment creditor’s satisfaction. The Clerk of the Superior Court enters warrants of satisfaction or satisfied
execution returns submitted by the sheriff on the docket when the warrant or satisfied execution is presented for filing. Rule 4:48-2 sets forth the docketing responsibility of the clerk. See also N.J.S.A. 2A:16- 47 and 48.
The court cannot force a judgment creditor to issue a warrant to satisfy, nor can it require the creditor to pay the filing fee for the warrants it may issue to the debtor. This may necessitate the debtor filing a motion to have the judgment marked satisfied or, to pay the applicable filing fees for warrants issued to them.
