 (8) A judgment registered under this section in the Supreme Court of a State or Territory is registrable in the Supreme Court of any other State or Territory under Part 6 of the Service and Execution of Process Act 1992 as if the judgment had been originally given in the first‑mentioned Supreme Court and entered on the day of registration.
 (9) Subsection (8) does not apply if an order has been made under section 8 that enforcement of the judgment be stayed.
 (10) Action is not to be taken to enforce a registered judgment:
 (a) during the period fixed under subsection (4) (including any extensions of that period under subsection (5)) as the period during which a party may apply to have the registration of the judgment set aside; or
