A court of this State shall 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, as determined by the court using standards developed by the American Law Institute and the International Institute for the Unification of Private Law to govern resolution of transnational disputes; (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.

2A:49A-34. Findings, declarations relative to Euro as medium of payment  1. The Legislature finds and declares: a. The member states of the European Union have adopted a uniform currency called the Euro. These states have provided a three-year period of transition, from January 1, 1999 to December 31, 2001, for this complex new monetary policy to be put into place. Prior to January 1, 2002, both the individual currencies of the states and the Euro will be in circulation.

Additional member states of the European Union may also convert their national currencies into the Euro. b. During the transition from national currencies to a single European Union currency, and after the Euro is in place, parties to international contracts and financial transactions will require a clear understanding of the terms and value of their transactions to conduct their business with fairness and certainty. c. There exists some uncertainty over the enforceability of certain contracts, securities and instruments that call for payment in a currency replaced by the Euro; this legislation is intended to ensure the continuity of these contracts.
