Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
1. Not later than 30 days after notice
under NRS 17.935 is served, the person against
whom the judgment was registered may petition the court to vacate the
registration. The court for cause may provide for a shorter or longer time for
filing the petition.
2. A petition under this section may
assert only:
(a) A ground that could be asserted to deny
recognition of the judgment under the Uniform Foreign-Country Money Judgments
Recognition Act; or
(b) A failure to comply with a requirement of NRS 17.900 to 17.955 , inclusive, for registration of the
judgment.
3. A petition filed under this section
does not itself stay enforcement of the registered judgment.
4. If the court grants a petition under
this section, the registration is vacated, and any act under the registration
to enforce the registered judgment is void.
5. If the court grants a petition under
this section on a ground under paragraph (a) of subsection 2, the court also
shall render a judgment denying recognition of the Canadian judgment. A
judgment rendered under this subsection has the same effect as a judgment
denying recognition to a judgment on the same ground under the Uniform
Foreign-Country Money Judgments Recognition Act.
