activein force · 2007-01-01 – presentact-effective-date

(a) Except as hereinafter provided, the judgment file, where it is necessary that it be prepared

pursuant to Section 6-3, shall be signed by the

clerk or assistant clerk unless otherwise ordered

by the judicial authority.

(b) In all actions involving dissolution of mar -

riage or civil union where counsel have appeared

for both the plaintiff and the defendant, unless the

judicial authority shall order otherwise, counsel

for the parties shall endorse their approval of the

judgment file immediately below the line for the

subscribing authority in the following words: ‘‘I

hereby certify that the foregoing judgment file conforms to the judgment entered by the court’’; the

clerk or assistant clerk, after ascertaining that the

terms of the judgment have been correctly incorporated into the judgment file, may sign any judgment file so endorsed.

(c) In those cases in which there is no provision

in this section for a clerk to sign a judgment file

and in which a case has been tried and judgment

has been directed in open court or by memorandum of decision and the trial judge shall die or

become incapacitated before the judgment file is

signed, any judge holding such court may examine the docket and file and, if it appears therefrom

that the issues have been definitely decided and

that the only thing remaining to be done is the

signing of the judgment file, the judgment file may

be drawn up by that judge or under that judge’s

direction and signed by him or her.

(d) Whenever a clerk or assistant clerk signs a

judgment file, the signer’s name shall be legibly

typed or printed beneath such signature.
