Constitution of the United States (Annotated) - Section 1: Full Faith and Credit
U.S. Supreme Court TITUS v. WALLICK, 306 U.S. 282 (1939)
[Page 306 U.S. 282, 292] forceable by him in New York, the full benefit of the constitutional command that the judgment shall receive in the courts of Ohio such faith and credit as it is entitled to receive in New York. A state which may not constitutionally refuse to open its courts to a suit on a judgment of another state because of the nature of the cause of action merged in the judgment, Kenney v. Supreme Lodge, supra, 415, 40 S.Ct. 372, obviously cannot, by the adoption of a particular rule of liability or of procedure, exclude from its courts a suit on the judgment. Reversed.
