Sec. 49-56a. Termination or removal of notice of lien. Each person who has
lodged for record a notice of a vessel lien on any personal property after receiving
satisfaction of his claim or after the rendition of a final judgment against him showing
that nothing is due thereon, shall, within ten days after being requested in writing to do
so by any person interested in having the lien removed, sign and lodge, in the office of
the Secretary of the State, a certificate that such lien is removed, which, when recorded,
shall discharge such lien. Fees for this and the procedure and forms to be used for the
same shall be prescribed by the Secretary of the State. If he fails to comply with such
request, he shall pay to the party aggrieved such sum, not exceeding half the amount
claimed by his lien, as the court having cognizance of the action brought therefor may
determine.
