Installment Payment of Judgment

(a) ORDER OF INSTALLMENT JUDGMENT. When a judgment is ordered paid in installments, the clerk must furnish the judgment defendant, by mail, with a memorandum that includes: (1) the dates on which the payments are due; (2) the amounts in which the payments are to be made; and (3) a warning to the judgment defendant that the stay of execution will be vacated on any default by the judgment defendant, without just excuse. (b) DEFAULT ON INSTALLMENT JUDGMENT. On a showing, by the judgment plaintiff or the judgment plaintiff’s agent or attorney, that the defendant has failed to comply with the order, the case must be set for a hearing, with reasonable notice by mail to the judgment defendant, to determine whether to vacate the stay of execution. If the stay is vacated or no stay is granted, the judgment plaintiff has the right to use all remedies otherwise available in the Civil Actions Branch for the enforcement of the judgment. COMMENT TO 2018 AMENDMENTS Formerly Rule 17, this rule has been renumbered as Rule 16. This rule has also been amended consistent with the stylistic changes to the civil rules.
