Section 5020-A. Payment of judgment in certain cases  


Latest version.
  • When a judgment debtor
      has  shown  to  the satisfaction of the clerk of the court from which an
      execution has been issued that  a  sum  of  money  which  satisfies  the
      judgment  had  been  sent  to  the  last  known  address of the judgment
      creditor by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested,  but
      was  returned  as  unclaimed  or  undeliverable  by the post office, the
      judgment debtor may deposit with the clerk of  such  court  a  certified
      check  in  an  amount  equal  to  the  sum  of money which satisfies the
      judgment. Upon receipt of such check any additional charges relating  to
      an  execution  shall cease to accrue against the judgment debtor and the
      clerk shall forthwith notify each  sheriff  to  whom  an  execution  was
      issued that such execution is hereby rescinded. Such notice shall not be
      effective  upon  the  sheriff  until  its receipt by him from the clerk.
      Provided, however, no entry of the satisfaction on  the  docket  of  the
      judgment  made be made by the clerk except pursuant to the provisions of
      section 5021.
