Foreign Money Judgment Enforcement

Many states in the United States, including California, have adopted the Uniform Foreign Money-Judgment Act (“UFMJRA” or the “Act”) or some parts of it.  Currently, more than half of the states have adopted some version of the Act.  UFMJRA applies to non-U.S. court judgments granting the recovery of a sum of money.  While the Act does not extend recognition to judgments for taxes, fines or penalties and support judgment in matrimonial and family matters, a non-U.S court judgment will be recognized provided that it is final, conclusive and enforceable where rendered.   Upon meeting with certain prerequisites, a foreign creditor may recover a judgment rendered in a foreign court against the defendant creditor residing in the states where the Act is recognized.  LHP’s network of professionals carefully and zealously review the case on behalf of a foreign creditor client and find the best legal solution to enforce and recover the non-U.S money judgment against a debtor who resides in U.S.
