Section: 2B:12-26: Docketing judgment
2B:12-26. Docketing judgment. A judgment of a municipal court assessing a penalty, fine or restitution may be docketed in the Superior Court by the party recovering the judgment.
A judgment docketed in the Superior Court shall operate, from the time of the docketing, as though the judgment was obtained in an action originally commenced in the Superior Court.
After a judgment has been docketed in the Superior Court, the municipal court shall not issue an execution or hold proceedings in the case except that the municipal court may grant a new trial or process an appeal.
If a new trial is granted or an appeal taken after a judgment is docketed, the Superior Court shall not issue an execution on the judgment pending the final determination of the proceedings.
