[WSBARP] Partial Satisfaction of Judgment

[Kathryn R. McKinley]

Assuming your judgment includes attorneys' fees and costs incurred for collection of the judgment, I would apply the funds first to unpaid interest on the judgment, then to costs and fees incurred in collection since the judgment was entered, and then to principal.

Subject: [WSBARP] Partial Satisfaction of Judgment

Listmates, a little litigator help would be appreciated here.  I won a monetary judgment on behalf of a client.  Judgment Debtor has delivered a check to me as a partial payment, wants me to prepare the partial satisfaction of judgement, and wants me to tell them the balance due.  Is there any guidance on how to apply the payment?  Twelve percent interest is owed on the judgment so can I apply the payment to accrued interest first and then to principal reduction?  Thanks for your assistance.  -Paul Neumiller
