Rule 358 - Entry and Satisfaction of Judgment(a) Entry. Judgment upon the verdict of a jury or upon trial by the court in all actions shall be entered forthwith by the judge or the clerk at the discretion of the judge. A notation of the judgment shall be made in the register of actions as provided in Rule 379(a) and such notation of the judgment shall constitute the entry of judgment. The judgment shall not be effective for the purpose of placing a lien upon property unless so recorded in the register of actions. Money judgments shall also be entered in the judgment record as provided for in Rule 379(c). Whenever the court signs a judgment and a party is not present when it is signed, a copy of the signed judgment shall be immediately mailed by the court, pursuant to Rule 305, to each absent party who has previously appeared. (b) Satisfaction. Satisfaction in whole or in part of a money judgment may be entered in the judgment record (Rule 379(c) ) upon an execution returned satisfied in whole or in part, or upon the filing of a satisfaction with the clerk, signed by the judgment creditor's attorney of record unless a revocation of that authority be previously filed, or by the signing of such satisfaction, by the judgment creditor, attested by the clerk or notary public, or by the signing of the judgment record (Rule 379(c) ) by one herein authorized to execute satisfaction. Whenever a judgment shall be so satisfied in fact otherwise than upon execution, it shall be the duty of the judgment creditor or the judgment creditor's attorney to give such satisfaction, and upon motion the court may compel it or may order the entry of such satisfaction to be made without it. With respect to judgments entered on or after July 1, 1981 the clerk shall, after six years from the entry of final judgment, satisfy the judgment and shall enter a full satisfaction in the judgment record (Rule 379(c) ) unless the judgment is revived pursuant to Rule 354(h). (b) amended July 2, 1986, effective 1/1/1987; entire rule amended July 22, 1993, effective 1/1/1994; (b) amended and adopted February 27, 1997, effective 7/1/1997.
