Foreign judgments in Florida courts
A creditor seeking to enforce a Latin American or European judgment in Florida uses the Uniform Out-of-country Foreign Money Judgment Recognition Act. The judgment - and often the documents showing that it is final and that the debtor was properly served - is in its original language, and the Florida court needs it in English.
The translation covers the whole judgment - the recitals, the reasoning and the operative part - plus any certificate of finality, because recognition turns on what the foreign court actually decided and whether its decision is final.
