Rule 4:48-1 Execution and Delivery of Warrant of Satisfaction

Upon satisfaction of a judgment duly entered and docketed, a warrant shall be executed and delivered to the party making satisfaction or to the party's representative, guardian or attorney, or to the clerk of the court, stating the judgment docket number or book and page where it is recorded and directing the clerk to satisfy the same of record. The warrant shall be executed by anyone entitled to receive satisfaction or by the attorney of record in the action. If executed by anyone other than the attorney of record the warrant shall be duly acknowledged. If executed by the attorney of record the attorney's certification shall suffice.

(b) Appeal after Satisfaction and Execution. A party may appeal after acceptance of payment of a final judgment only if the party can show: (1) the party made an intention to appeal known prior to accepting payment of the final judgment and prior to executing a warrant to satisfy that judgment and (2) prevailing on the appellate issue would not impact the final judgment other than to potentially increase the judgment amount.
