In July 2015, Brian Champion and Tyler Smith of Libby O’Brien Kingsley & Champion, LLC won a dismissal of a New Hampshire action on behalf of three of their clients. The plaintiff in the case sought to register a $3.85 million prejudgment attachment from a Maine court in the State of New Hampshire. Attorneys Champion and Smith successfully argued that the prejudgment attachment cannot be registered in New Hampshire, because a prejudgment attachment is a non-final order that is not entitled to full faith and credit. The New Hampshire Court agreed with the argument, writing in its decision that “the court concludes that a prejudgment attachment cannot be domesticated under the Uniform Act” and that “this case is dismissed.”
