§ 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.)
