California Codes, Code of Civil Procedure - CCP, Part 2 — Of Civil Actions, Title 8.5 — Uniform Foreign-money Claims Act, Section 676.10

(a) If an action is brought to enforce a judgment of another jurisdiction expressed in a foreign money and the judgment is recognized in this state as enforceable, the enforcing judgment shall be entered as provided in Section 676.7, whether or not the foreign judgment confers an option to pay in an equivalent amount of United States dollars.

(b) A foreign judgment may be enforced in accordance with Title 11 (commencing with Section 1710.10) of Part 3.

(c) A satisfaction or partial payment made upon the foreign judgment, on proof thereof, shall be credited against the amount of foreign money specified in the judgment, notwithstanding the entry of judgment in this state.

(d) A judgment entered on a foreign-money claim only in United States dollars in another state shall be enforced in this state in United States dollars only.

Notes

Requires an enforceable judgment from another jurisdiction expressed in foreign money to be entered under the California foreign-money rule despite any option to pay United States dollars, and allows enforcement under the referenced title. Proven satisfaction or partial payment is credited against the foreign-money amount; a judgment entered only in United States dollars elsewhere is enforced here only in dollars.
