Revised Laws of Saint Lucia (2021)

7.   Powers of registering Court on application to set aside registration

1.  

   (1)   If, on an application to set aside the registration of a judgement, the applicant satisfies the registering court either that an appeal is pending, or that he or she is entitled and intends to appeal, against the judgement, the court, if it thinks fit, may, on such terms as it may think just, either set aside the registration or adjourn the application to set aside the registration until after the expiration of such period as appears to the court to be reasonably sufficient to enable the applicant to take the necessary steps to have the appeal disposed of by the competent tribunal.

1.  

   (2)   Where the registration of a judgement is set aside under the last foregoing subsection, or solely for the reason that the judgement was not at the date of the application for registration enforceable by execution in the country of the original court the setting aside of the registration shall not prejudice a further application to register the judgement when the appeal has been disposed of or if and when the judgement becomes enforceable by execution in that country as the case may be.

1.  

   (3)   Where the registration of a judgement is set aside solely for the reason that the judgement, notwithstanding that it had at the date of the application for registration been partly satisfied, was registered for the whole sum payable, the registering court shall, on the application of the judgement creditor, order judgement to be registered for the balance remaining payable at that date.
