The act of satisfying a party by paying what is due to him, (as on a mortgage, lien, or contract,) or what is awarded to him, by the judgment of a court or otherwise.

An entry made on the rec ord, by which a party in whose favor a judg ment was rendered declares that he has been satisfied and paid. In equity. The doctrine of satisfaction in equity is somewhat analogous to perform ance in equity, but differs from it in this re spect: that satisfaction is always something given either in whole or in part as a substi tute or equivalent for something else, and not (as in performance) something that may be construed as the identical thing covenanted to be done. Brown. SATISFACTION PIECE. In practice. A memorandum in writing, entitled in a cause, stating that satisfaction is acknowl edged between the parties, plaintiff and de fendant. Upon this being duly acknowledged and filed in the office where the record of the judgment is, the judgment becomes satisfied, and the defendant discharged from it. 1 Archb. Pr. 722.
