Staying enforcement of a foreign judgment

Known as the Uniform Enforcement of Foreign Judgments Act

The act spans §§ 34-54-11-1 to 34-54-11-7 (7 sections).

As added by P.L.40-2003, SEC.2.

Sec. 4. (a) If the judgment debtor shows the court with whose clerk the foreign judgment is filed:

(1) that:

(A) an appeal from the foreign judgment is pending;

(B) an appeal from the foreign judgment will be taken; or

(C) a stay of execution of the foreign judgment has been granted; and

(2) that the judgment debtor has furnished the security, if any, for the judgment required under the jurisdiction in which the foreign judgment was rendered;

the court shall stay enforcement of the foreign judgment until the appeal is concluded, the time for appeal expires, or the stay of execution expires or is vacated.

(b) If:

(1) the judgment debtor shows the court grounds upon which enforcement of a judgment of a court of Indiana would be stayed; and

(2) the judgment debtor gives the court security for the judgment debt;

the court shall stay enforcement of the foreign judgment for the same period as would be appropriate to stay enforcement for a similar judgment by an Indiana court.
