Rule 15 Judgment

(a) ENTRY OF JUDGMENT. A judgment must be entered at the time that the court’s finding is entered.

(b) STAY OF EXECUTION. For good cause and on appropriate terms for the opposing party’s security, the court may stay the execution of a judgment.

(c) SURRENDER OF CONTRACTS. When a judgment is based on a negotiable or nonnegotiable instrument, or other contract under seal, the instrument or contract is merged in the judgment and the original document must be surrendered to the clerk and marked "cancelled."

(d) ENTRY OF JUDGMENT BY CONFESSION OR CONSENT. All requests for entry of judgment by confession or consent must be submitted to the court.
