Uniform Comment

 
(This is Section 605 of the Uniform Act.)

 
Sections 605-608 provide the procedure for the nonregistering
party to contest registration of an order, either because the
order is allegedly invalid, superseded, or no longer in
effect, or because the enforcement remedy being sought is
opposed by the nonregistering party.

 
Subsections (a) and (b) direct that the nonregistering party
be fully informed of the effect of registration. After such
notice is given, absent a successful contest by the
nonregistering party, the order will be confirmed and future
contest will be
precluded.
