Enforcement of Foreign Judgments Act
Idaho · Issues, Trial and Judgment in Civil Actions · §§ 10-1301 to 10-1309 · 10 sections
Overview
The Enforcement of Foreign Judgments Act governs the recognition and enforcement of judgments rendered by courts outside the enacting state. Its central mechanism is a filing procedure: a qualifying judgment, once filed with a local court, takes the status of a judgment of that court and may be enforced in the same manner, with the act defining which judgments qualify, setting the applicable fees, and requiring that the judgment debtor receive notice of the filing. It further provides for staying enforcement in defined circumstances and preserves an optional alternative procedure for a creditor who does not use the filing route.
