§ 718.12 Effective date.

This rule explains when the Uniform Foreign-Country Money Judgments Recognition Act starts being used. It applies to any case filed on or after the law's effective date, as long as that case involves a question about recognizing a money judgment from another country.

In simple terms, if someone files a lawsuit after this law took effect and asks a court to recognize a foreign money judgment, this act will apply to that case. Cases filed before the effective date are not covered under this specific law.
