—Satisfying Judgment

(a) The judicial authority may order that the judgment shall be paid to the prevailing party at a certain date or by specified installments. Unless otherwise ordered, the issue of execution and other supplementary process shall be stayed dur- ing compliance with such order. Such stay may be modified and vacated at any time for good cause. The stay is automatically lifted by a default in postjudgment court-ordered payments by the judgment debtor. (b) When the judgment is satisfied in a small claims action, the party recovering the judgment shall file a written notice thereof within ninety days with the clerk who shall record the judgment as satisfied, identifying the name of the party and the date. An execution returned fully satisfied shall be deemed a satisfaction of judgment and the notice required in this section shall not be filed. The judicial authority may, upon motion, make a determination that the judgment has been sat- isfied. (P.B. 1978-1997, Sec. 583.)
