Rule 58B. Satisfaction of judgment.
(a) Satisfaction by acknowledgment.
(a)(1) Within 28 days after full satisfaction of the judgment, the
judgment creditor or the judgment creditor’s attorney must file an
acknowledgment of satisfaction in the court in which the judgment was entered.
If the judgment creditor is not the original judgment creditor, the judgment creditor
or judgment creditor’s attorney must also file proof of ownership. If the
satisfaction is for part of the judgment or for fewer than all of the judgment
debtors, it must state the amount paid or name the debtors who are released.
(a)(2) Pursuant to Rule 58 of the Utah Rules of Juvenile Procedure,
the juvenile court will file an abstract of judgment in the district court upon
entering an unpaid restitution order as a civil judgment. If the judgment falls
under Rule 58 of the Utah Rules of Juvenile Procedure, the judgment creditor
must file an acknowledgment of satisfaction in both the district court and the
juvenile court within 28 days after full satisfaction of the judgment.
(b) Satisfaction by order of court. The
court in which the judgment was first entered may, upon motion and satisfactory
proof, enter an order declaring the judgment satisfied.
(c) Effect of satisfaction. Satisfaction
of a judgment, whether by acknowledgement or order, discharges the judgment,
and the judgment ceases to be a lien as to the debtors named and to the extent
of the amount paid. A writ of execution or a writ of garnishment issued after
partial satisfaction must include the partial satisfaction and must direct the
officer to collect only the balance of the judgment, or to collect only from
the judgment debtors remaining liable.
(d) Filing certificate of satisfaction in other
counties. After satisfaction of a judgment, whether by acknowledgement
or order, has been entered in the court in which the judgment was first
entered, a certificate by the clerk showing the satisfaction may be filed with
the clerk of the district court in any other county where the judgment has been
entered.
