§ 9-34-7. Effect of recognition of foreign-country judgment.

(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.
