Massachusetts H1559 mandates reporting of satisfaction of money damage judgments within 60 days.

Massachusetts H1559 amends the General Laws to require any party who obtains a judgment for money damages to file a notice of satisfaction with the issuing court within 60 days of full satisfaction. Failure to file this notice may result in liability for costs and attorneys' fees incurred by the judgment debtor in proving satisfaction. This requirement applies to civil cases, small claims, and summary process cases, but not to judgments satisfied by levy of execution.
