| Opinion by: GANTMAN, J. | |
| Appellant, Jerome Canady, appeals from the orders entered in the Allegheny and Philadelphia County Courts of Common Pleas, denying his petitions to open and/or strike the foreign judgment. Appellant asks us to determine whether the judgment, which included an award of legal fees to Appellees under the English Rule, is enforceable under Pennsylvania’s Uniform Foreign Money Judgment Recognition Act (“UFMJRA”). We hold the judgment against Appellant that included an award of legal fees to Appellees under the English Rule is enforceable under Pennsylvania’s UFMJRA. Accordingly, we affirm the orders entered in the Allegheny and Philadelphia County Courts of Common Pleas, denying Appellant’s petitions to open and/or strike the foreign judgment. | |
