(b) A petition under this section may assert only:
(1) a ground that could be asserted to deny recognition of the judgment under sections 548.54 to 548.63; or
(2) a failure to comply with a requirement of sections 548.64 to 548.74 for registration of the judgment.
(c) A petition filed under this section does not itself stay enforcement of the registered judgment.
(d) If the court grants a petition under this section, the registration is vacated, and any act under the registration to enforce the registered judgment is void.
(e) If the court grants a petition under this section on a ground under paragraph (b), clause (1), the court also shall render a judgment denying recognition of the Canadian judgment. A judgment rendered under this subsection has the same effect as a judgment denying recognition to a judgment on the same ground under sections 548.54 to 548.63.
