    Sec. 12-664. Standards for recognition of foreign-country judgment.
    (a) Except as otherwise provided in subsections (b) and (c), a court of this State shall recognize a foreign-country judgment to which this Act applies.
    (b) A court of this State may not recognize a foreign-country judgment if:
        (1) the judgment was rendered under a judicial
    
system that does not provide impartial tribunals or procedures compatible with the requirements of due process of law;
        (2) the foreign court did not have personal
    
jurisdiction over the defendant; or
        (3) the foreign court did not have jurisdiction over
    
the subject matter.
    (c) A court of this State need not recognize a foreign-country judgment if:
        (1) the defendant in the proceeding in the foreign
    
court did not receive notice of the proceeding in sufficient time to enable the defendant to defend;
        (2) the judgment was obtained by fraud that deprived
    
the losing party of an adequate opportunity to present its case;
        (3) the judgment or the cause of action on which the
    
judgment is based is repugnant to the public policy of this State or of the United States;
        (4) the judgment conflicts with another final and
    
conclusive judgment;
        (5) the proceeding in the foreign court was contrary
    
to an agreement between the parties under which the dispute in question was to be determined otherwise than by proceedings in that foreign court;
        (6) in the case of jurisdiction based only on
    
personal service, the foreign court was a seriously inconvenient forum for the trial of the action;
        (7) the judgment was rendered in circumstances that
    
raise substantial doubt about the integrity of the rendering court with respect to the judgment; or
        (8) the specific proceeding in the foreign court
    
leading to the judgment was not compatible with the requirements of due process of law.
    (d) A party resisting recognition of a foreign-country judgment has the burden of establishing that a ground for nonrecognition stated in subsection (b) or (c) exists.
