A party that successfully resists enforcement of a foreign defamation judgment on a specified ground generally must receive a reasonable attorney’s fee.
In an action in a domestic court* to enforce a foreign defamation* judgment, including an action moved from State* to Federal court, the court must ordinarily award a reasonable attorney’s fee to the party opposing recognition or enforcement if that party wins on a ground listed in section 4102(a), (b), or (c). The court may deny the fee in exceptional circumstances.
In any action brought in a domestic court* to enforce a foreign judgment* for defamation*, including any such action removed from State* court to Federal court, the domestic court shall, absent exceptional circumstances, allow the party opposing recognition or enforcement of the judgment a reasonable attorney’s fee if such party prevails in the action on a ground specified in section 4102(a), (b), or (c).
