enforcement of foreign judgments act

Enforcement of Foreign Judgments Act. A uniform law, adopted by most states, that gives the holder of a foreign judgment essentially the same rights to levy and execute on the judgment as the holder of a domestic judgment. • The Act defines a foreign judgment as any judgment, decree, or order (of a court in the United States or of any other court) that is entitled to full faith and credit in the state. See FULL FAITH AND CREDIT. [Cases: Judgment 823. C.J.S. Judgments §§ 969, 971, 983–985.]
