not satisfied
not satisfied. A form of return by a sheriff or constable, on a writ of execution, indicating only that the amount due on a judgment was not paid. • A general return of this type is usu. viewed as technically deficient because it does not state why the writ was not satisfied. Cf. NULLA BONA. [Cases: Execution 334. C.J.S. Executions §§ 324–325.]
