     § 8515.  Execution by judicial act.
        (a)  General rule.--If a person required by this chapter to
     execute any certificate fails or refuses to do so, any other
     person who is adversely affected by the failure or refusal may
     petition the court to direct the execution of the certificate.
     If the court finds that it is proper for the certificate to be
     executed and that any person so designated has failed or refused
     to execute the certificate, it shall order the Department of
     State to record an appropriate certificate. The clerk of the
     court shall file a certified copy of the order (which shall
     include the full text of the certificate) in the department.
        (b)  Effectiveness of judicial order.--Upon the filing of the
     judicial order of amendment in the department or upon the
     effective date specified in the certificate, whichever is later,
     the certificate shall be effective.
        (c)  Cross reference.--See section 134 (relating to docketing
     statement).
