Staying enforcement of a foreign judgment
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.
