     514.76 Satisfaction; penalty for refusal.  

    Every lien claimed under any provision of this chapter 
 shall be satisfied of record, at the expense of the claimant, 
 upon payment or tender to the claimant of the amount actually 
 due thereon, or upon written demand made at any time after 
 expiration of the time within which it may be asserted in an 
 action or other proceeding to enforce the same, if it has not 
 been so asserted.  Refusal to cause satisfaction to be entered 
 within ten days after such payment, tender, or demand shall 
 render the party so refusing liable in a civil action, to any 
 person interested, for $25 as liquidated damages if the lien was 
 claimed upon real estate; otherwise, $10; and in either case for 
 any further damages which the plaintiff may have suffered 
 therefrom.
