Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Affirmed. See § 55.606(1)(b)(3), Fla. Stat. (2022) (providing in pertinent part: “The out-of-country foreign judgment shall not be refused recognition for lack of personal jurisdiction if . . . [t]he defendant, prior to the commencement of the proceedings, had agreed to submit to the jurisdiction of the foreign court with respect to the subject matter involved. . .”); Kramer v. von Mitschke-Collande, 5 So. 3d 689, 690 (Fla. 3d DCA 2008) (once a judgment creditor presents a foreign judgment which on its face awards a monetary sum certain and is final, conclusive, and capable of enforcement, the burden shifts to the judgment debtor to specify and establish a ground for non-recognition of that foreign judgment).

See also Vuillermin v. Mitsubishi Elec. Europe BV, 233 So. 3d 1178 (Fla. 3d DCA 2017) (holding a defendant “may not avoid the foreign judgment based on lack of personal service [where] he failed to raise the issue initially in the foreign court of competent jurisdiction”).
