North Carolina General Statutes § 1C-1856 Effect of recognition of foreign-country judgment

(a)        If the court in a proceeding under G.S. 1C-1855 finds that the foreign-country judgment is entitled to recognition under this Article 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.

(b)        Article 17 of this Chapter does not apply to the enforcement of foreign-country judgments recognized under this Article.  (2009-325, s. 2.)
