Attorney Eric Johnson successfully argued a motion to vacate a Satisfaction of Judgment. Not knowing the legal subtleties of “Satisfactions” and relying upon the misrepresentations of one of the debtors regarding its legal effect, the clients inadvertently filed the Satisfaction, which obliterated their Judgment against the debtors. The Court held that, given the filing was a mistake and the Judgment was not actually paid, the clients were entitled to have the Judgment reinstated.
