§658F-7 - Effect of recognition of foreign-country judgment. - Hawaii Statutes

     [§658F-7]  Effect of recognition of foreign-country judgment.  If the court in a proceeding under section 658F-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. [L 2009, c 34, pt of §1]
