508. A party seeking the recognition or the enforcement of a foreign decision attaches the decision to the application, together with a certificate from a competent foreign public official stating that the decision is no longer appealable in the State in which it was rendered or that it is final or enforceable.
If the decision was rendered by default, certified documents showing that the originating application was properly notified to the defaulting party must also be attached to the application.
Documents in a language other than French or English must be accompanied by a translation certified in Québec. The translation must be in French if the party seeking the recognition or the enforcement of the foreign decision is a legal person.
