Writs of Execution
See R. 4:59 et seq. Writs of execution need not be signed by a judge; printing of the judge’s name and signing of the writ by the Deputy Clerk in the appropriate space is sufficient. Two of the most common approaches for collecting judgments are to request the court to issue an execution on goods and chattels or an execution against a debtor’s wages. It should be noted that to ensure that the judgment debtor is aware of the method by which interest has been calculated and that all partial payments have been accounted for, R. 4:59-1 has been amended effective September 1, 2006 and requires that the
endorsement on an application for a writ explain in detail the method by which interest has been calculated and demonstrate how all partial payments have been applied; and that a copy of the writ with the endorsement be served on the judgment debtor. Subparagraph (h) of the rule has been added to make it clear that all the forms in Appendices XI-I and XI- L through XI-R, inclusive, are to be used in both the Civil and Special Civil Parts. See R. 4:59-1 and Appendices XI- I and XI-L through XI-R and XI-X and XI -Y.
