Pennsylvania Statutes Title 53 P.S. Municipal and Quasi-Municipal Corporations § 7192. Use-plaintiffs;  duty to enter satisfaction;  penalty

In cases where there is a use-plaintiff, if the claim shall be paid or otherwise satisfied or discharged at any time before or after filing, it shall be the duty of the use-plaintiff, or his legal representatives, at the request of the owner, or of any other person interested, by a statement, in writing, showing how the claim was paid, satisfied, or discharged, and on the payment of costs, if any be due, to enter satisfaction on the record of such claim.  In such cases a refusal to satisfy the claim for a period of sixty days after notice so to do, served upon the use-plaintiff or his agent or attorney, shall subject such use-plaintiff to a suit, as for penalty, at the hands of the party aggrieved, in such sum as the jury shall determine to be just but not exceeding the amount of the claim.
