The court for cause may provide for a shorter or longer time for filing the petition.\n(b) A petition under this section may assert only:\n(1) A ground that could be asserted to deny recognition of the judgment under chapter 34 of title 9; or\n(2) A failure to comply with a requirement of this chapter for registration of the judgment.\n(c) A petition filed under this section does not itself stay enforcement of the registered judgment.\n(d) 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.\n(e) If the court grants a petition under this section on a ground under subsection (b)(1) of this section, 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 chapter 34 of title 9.","path":["Title 9 Courts and Civil Procedure — Procedure Generally","Chapter 35 Uniform Registration of Canadian Money Judgments Act"],"source_url":"https://webserver.rilegislature.gov/Statutes/TITLE9/9-35/9-35-7.htm","current_through":"site files published 2025-08-13","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-09-05T19:55:04Z","sha256":"67a10f3c9070a427f468c3e90c95b62d632681570d3188b9a5b9f2c63f145a40","source_id":"us-ri","stale":true,"prev":"us-ri/r.i.-gen.-laws-9-35-6","next":"us-ri/r.i.-gen.-laws-9-35-8"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
