United States Ninth Circuit

The district court's judgment in favor of plaintiff awarding her, pursuant to California's Uniform Foreign-County Money Judgments Recognition Act, monetary relief ordered by the courts of Japan on her claim that defendants had tortiously induced her to transfer nearly all of her assets to defendant Church, is affirmed, where: 1) the district court's enforcement of this foreign-country money judgment did not constitute domestic state action triggering constitutional scrutiny; and 2) neither the judgment at issue in this particular case nor the cause of action on which it was based was so repugnant to public policy as to qualify for non-enforcement under the Uniform Act.
