Terms Used In New Jersey Statutes 2A:16-45
- Appeal: A request made after a trial, asking another court (usually the court of appeals) to decide whether the trial was conducted properly. To make such a request is "to appeal" or "to take an appeal." One who appeals is called the appellant.
- Lien: A claim against real or personal property in satisfaction of a debt.
- Trial: A hearing that takes place when the defendant pleads "not guilty" and witnesses are required to come to court to give evidence.
When a judgment is satisfied or the court in which a judgment is rendered or finally docketed allows moneys to be paid into court in satisfaction of a judgment, the court may direct the clerk to enter satisfaction on the record. Any such payment into court shall not affect the right of any party to appeal or to apply for relief from the judgment or for a new trial.
When moneys are paid into court in satisfaction of a judgment or order, any interest in the judgment or order, or claim thereon, including the lien for costs and compensation, if any, of the attorney for the party recovering the judgment or order, shall be transferred to the moneys paid into court.
