CR 79.02 Entry of satisfaction of judgment

    When a judgment has been satisfied such satisfaction may be certified upon the records of the Circuit Court as follows:

    (1) Upon the return of an execution showing that a judgment has been satisfied the clerk shall thus enter satisfaction on the judgment: “Satisfaction by execution.” A party or his attorney receiving satisfaction of a judgment otherwise than by execution may make, date and sign this entry on the margin of the judgment: “Satisfaction in full.” The court may upon motion compel an entry of satisfaction to be made.

    (2) The satisfaction of the judgment may be shown by the entry of a document styled satisfaction of judgment indicating that it has been satisfied in full. The aforesaid Satisfaction of Judgment should be executed by the party or his attorney having received said satisfaction. The court may upon motion compel an entry of satisfaction to be made.
