R.I. Gen. Laws § 9-34-7

Effect of recognition of foreign-country judgment

Known as the Uniform Foreign-Country Money Judgments Recognition Act

The act spans §§ 9–9 (13 sections).

P.L. 2021, ch. 134, § 1, effective July 3, 2021; P.L. 2021, ch. 156, § 1, effective July 3, 2021.

If the court in a proceeding under § 9-34-6 finds that the foreign-country judgment is entitled to recognition under this chapter then, to the extent that the foreign-country judgment grants or denies recovery of a sum of money, the foreign-country judgment is:

(1) Conclusive between the parties to the same extent as the judgment of a sister state entitled to full faith and credit in this state would be conclusive; and

(2) Enforceable in the same manner and to the same extent as a judgment rendered in this state.
