Notes of Decisions

A forum state may apply its own statute of limitations to actions seeking to enforce foreign judgments since such a limitation is procedural rather than substantive in nature. Newhouse v. Newhouse, 271 Or 109, 530 P2d 848 (1975)

This section applied to city water service overcharges with respect to beneficiaries of deed covenant. Aspgren v. City of Columbia City, 34 Or App 991, 581 P2d 536 (1978)
