Foreign Judgments
It has become increasingly common for parties to
attempt to enforce foreign judgments in the United States under
state law. Tollefsen Law represents both the plaintiffs and
defendants in these cases.
U.S.
Constitution applies from U.S. Chamber of
Commerce
Whether or not explicitly stated in the state
statute, the foreign judgment must comply with the requirements of
the Constitution as a precondition to domestication of a judgment.
Entering a foreign judgment is "state action" triggering
constitutional protections. Disclaimer: We do not agree with the
"plaintiff-bashing" stand of the Chamber of Commerce but offer this
article because we believe it correctly states the applicable
constitutional law.
