(b)  A petition under this section may assert only:

(1)  A ground that could be asserted to deny recognition of the judgment under chapter 34 of Title 9; or

(2)  A failure to comply with a requirement of this chapter for registration of the judgment.

(c)  A petition filed under this section does not itself stay enforcement of the registered judgment.

(d)  If the court grants a petition under this section, the registration is vacated, and any act under the registration to enforce the registered judgment is void.

(e)  If the court grants a petition under this section on a ground under subsection (b)(1) of this section, the court also shall render a judgment denying recognition of the Canadian judgment. A judgment rendered under this subsection has the same effect as a judgment denying recognition to a judgment on the same ground under chapter 34 of Title 9.
