Plain-English Summary
Section 25-1337 does one job: it gives a name to the statutes that follow. Sections 25-1337 to 25-1348 are to be known, and may be cited, as the Uniform Foreign-Country Money Judgments Recognition Act.
That short title matters for anyone researching or citing this part of Chapter 25. Rather than referring separately to each numbered section, a court order, brief, or article can cite the Act by name and mean the entire package — the definitions, the applicability rules, the recognition standards, and the personal jurisdiction provisions that follow.
