DE HB104

Adopts the Uniform Foreign-Country Money Judgments Recognition Act (UFCMJRA) of 2005, updating Delaware's previous adoption of the 1962 Act

Establishes clear standards for Delaware courts to recognize and enforce money judgments from foreign countries, with specific procedures for enforcement

Defines grounds for non-recognition including lack of impartial tribunals, lack of personal or subject matter jurisdiction, fraud, public policy conflicts, and incompatibility with due process

Sets a statute of limitations for recognition actions at the earlier of when the foreign judgment expires or 15 years from when it became effective in the foreign country

Clarifies burden of proof requirements: petitioners must prove a judgment qualifies for recognition while respondents must prove grounds for non-recognition exist
