Each person who has filed a notice of attachment as provided under § 52-283 shall, after receiving satisfaction of his claim or after the rendition of a final judgment against him showing that nothing is due thereon, within ten days after being requested in writing to do so by any person interested in having the attachment removed, sign and lodge, in the office of the Secretary of the State, a certificate, on a form provided by the Secretary of the State, that such attachment is removed, which, when recorded shall discharge such attachment. If he fails to comply with such request, he shall pay to the party aggrieved such sum, not exceeding half the amount claimed by his lien, as the court having cognizance of the action brought therefor may determine. Fees for the filing of such certificates and procedures for such filing shall be established by the Secretary of the State.
